Bernard's First Play Date!

By L.A. Colbert

Bernard is excited about his first play date, but when things don't go as planned, he discovers that speaking up isn't always easy.

With courage, kindness, and a little encouragement, Bernard learns that sharing his feelings and using his voice can help solve problems and build stronger friendships.

Warm, reassuring, and relatable, Bernard's First Play Date encourages children to explore self-advocacy, communication, and emotional awareness. Inside, readers will also find Challenge Words to build vocabulary and Bernard's Big Feelings Chart, a helpful resource for parents, caregivers, and educators to continue meaningful conversations beyond the story.

Written by 9-year-old author L. A. Colbert, this heartwarming debut is the first adventure in a delightful new series featuring Bernard.
