During the month of September in KidsConnect, we are talking about friendship.

We hope you'll use this story, "Lost and Found" as a way to start a conversation about friendship. Here are some questions to get you started:

• The boy likes to tell stories to the penguin. What is something you enjoy doing with your friends?
• The boy thinks that he needs to help the penguin get back home, but later in the story, the boy realizes the penguin is lonely and needs a friend. Why is listening important to a friendship? What other things are important for friends to do to keep their friendship strong?
• What does the title of this story "Lost and Found" have to say about the friendship between the boy and the penguin?​
