Friendship Activities for Elementary-Age Children
By Jean Tracy, MSS

I’m excited to share my new children’s book with you.
I’m so happy to let you know that my new children’s book, Friendship Activities Raising Happy Kids with Confidence and Character, will go live on Amazon on April 1, 2026.
This new activity book is a companion to Motormouth Mattie’s Amazing Day - The Magic of Listening and Friendship and features Mattie in a whole new way. Created especially for children around age 9, this book is filled with fun, screen-free activities that encourage friendship, confidence, kindness, and emotional growth. Inside, children will find:
- 30 pictures of Mattie to color
- 30 pictures to draw
- 30 ideas to write
- 30 jokes and riddles to enjoy with friends
- 30 simple friendship action steps
I wanted to create a book that is more than just fun. My hope is that it gives children a creative way to think about feelings, friendships, and positive choices while giving parents a resource with real purpose.
It truly is "A Child's Guide to Making Friends and Special Memories."
Thank you for being part of this journey with me. Your support, encouragement, and sharing mean more than you know.
