What happens when a friendship project teaches a bigger lesson than anyone expected?

Nora loves plans. Samir loves jokes. Theo is full of big ideas. Ellie has a creative design that could make their class project extra special-if someone takes the time to listen.

When the students of Oakwood Elementary build a Friendship Bench for the playground, they hope it will help children feel welcome, included, and less alone. But as the bench takes shape, so do a few problems. A missed idea, a bent note box, flying paper messages, and hurt feelings show the friends that kindness is more than a sign or a project.
