Description
This book takes a fascinating journey through the complex process of how children make, keep, and end friendships from childhood to early adulthood. Focusing on issues of disability, cultural diversity, and combinations of the two, the authors use participatory and in-school research models to reveal what really happens in children's social relationships and why. School-age children of varying backgrounds and abilities share firsthand their feelings on topics ranging from fairness to racial tension.
