Sam has figured out the one hard truth about moving: saying hello means you'll eventually have to say goodbye.
When his family relocates again, Sam would rather skip the whole friendship thing entirely. Why bother? But the kids in this new place keep showing up - at church, at the playground, on video calls across time zones - and Sam is slowly learning that friendship isn't just about being close. It's about choosing to stay connected.
A World of Friends is a gentle, faith-rooted picture book about the real emotional work of growing up between cultures. Perfect for TCK families, missionary kids, and any child navigating a new school, new city, or a season of goodbyes.
Part of the Sam's World series.
