Enjoyed sharing with my daughter! Definitely a much needed book for young girls, especially with all the social media they are exposed to each day.

This is beautiful book with loads of prompts, activities and helpful tips of socializing and friends. Introverts, extrovert, teen, pre-teens, EVERYONE will absolutely love this book. I don't remember why I picked it up, but I'm so glad i did.

Here's what i loved the most :)
Quizzes that help you analyse yourself.
Activities like wordsearches every few pages
A writing space to put your thoughts into
An understanding of healthy friendships
Aesthetic posters about bullying, social media usage, etc
And of course, the fun guide on making friendship bracelets

I definitely need a physical copy of this gorgeous book, and so does every young girl<3

A big thank you to NetGalley and Thomas Nelson for giving me access to a complimentary copy of the first seven chapters of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This was a partial sample of the book and I love it. Even though it's geared to kids, the messages are for everyone. I can't wait to buy this for my daughter and for her friends. Also want to get the adult version

I wish I had read this in elementary school. Genuinely, it helps you navigate a lot of tough situations, including making new friends. I think that I didn't get enough guidance around that age. I received a review copy from the publisher and have left my opinion.

Thank you Netgalley for letting me review this book, my opinions are completely my own.

I found I'll be there to be the kind of book I would of loved in middle school. I'll be honest I loved as an adult as well. I greatly enjoyed the spots where one can write their feeling in a guided journal kind of way. I also like the spot for an adult, where kids can write to their adult their thoughts. I thought that was a nice touch

This is a great book that could be used by Guidance counselors with a group of middle school students. It could be used as a student or counselor led group Lots of great information and so many interesting activities.

We all want to thrive in a community where we are accepted and this book just about points us to the right direction. It's a book about friendship, how to make them , connect and how to navigate the challenges of being a friend. I loved that the book was more interactive as it is written in journal format and included exercises that one could partake of. The exercises were helpful, interactive and relatable. I highly recommend it,

I received this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. ARC provided by Thomas Nelson.

I'll Be There is an honest and humorous take on the connection between self-acceptance and community. This book establishes quality friendships and navigate their ups and downs. For any girl who's ever felt uncomfortable in their own skin or is still healing from "friendship hurt," this book will teach them how to find and keep friends who accept and love them for who they are' the importance of making friends off screen; to stay confident and kind in the thick of mean-girl culture; and how to "break up" with comparison and become a cheerleader for their friends. I'll Be There will encourage and reassure girls by showing them the value and importance of healthy friendships. Whether breaking it down page by page independently or in a friend group.

This book was more like a journal with prompts and interactive exercises. The exercises were quite helpful. I need more than the eight chapters that was given and need a physical book now, so I can do each activity. Definitely a very creative activity book.

I am loving this nonfiction middle grade journal series so much!

More like a journal with prompts and interactive exercises than a self-help kind of book, this one is filled with colours and creativity!

Haven't come across a journal on friendship this amazing. Choose it without thinking twice!

The exercises are quite helpful (psst! Yes, for you too, you frowning adults!).

I need a physical copy!

Thank you, Thomas Nelson CHILDREN'S, for the advance reading copy.
