Ilze Skrastiņa “Friends List. Will Everyone Be Crossed Out?”

This is the fourth book by Ilze Skrastiņa about the adventures of Miks and his friends. The first one – “Great Life Without Zoom” – was nominated for the 2022 “Children, Youth and Parents’ Jury,” while the second – “How’s School? Normal” – received the 2023 “Pastariņš Prize.” The third, “What are you doing? Nothing!”, reminisced about the joys of summer break, but in this book, a new challenge awaits Miks – finding a friend at his new school.

Is it easy for you to find friends? Do you remember that no one is perfect? And that someone might not like you, either. Someone might laugh at you. At your clothes, your hair, the way you talk or walk. But, hey, don’t make any hasty decisions. Forgive the person who doesn’t appreciate you right away. Give yourself and them another chance to get to know each other better. And respect your friend, if you already have one.
