About

Recess is tough without Somebody to play with!

Why is finding a friend to play with so hard? That's what Someone wants to know! All the other kids in his class have playmates, but not Someone. Without a friend, all Someone can do is watch the fun from the sidelines. Will he ever find Somebody to play with?

Authors Jay and Bodie Ostrowski-a father and son duo-use their delightful and whimsical illustrations to guide young readers through playtime politics, encouraging learning and inviting laughter from children and parents alike.

Reviews

"A playful story that teaches children (and adults) a valuable lesson about acceptance and connection. . . . This book is a fun tool for teachers, parents, and caregivers to help children navigate social relationships. We can all learn from Someone about the importance of being open to Anybody and Everybody."
Meredith C. Murphy, Ph.D., Child Psychologist
"Children everywhere will be able to relate to the characters in the story and learn that everyone needs to feel liked and included."
Tracy Winfrey-Edwards, Literacy Supervisor for Montgomery County Public Schools
"Such a great story about learning about acceptance and being included. This book should be in every child's library!"
