Making The Right Choices... for Me and My Friends

About the Book

The story behind this book is one that should and would inspire any friendship. In Making the Right Choices. . .for Me and My Friends, a lesson-filled children’s picture book, Makinde masterfully weaves an unforgettable tale that explores the real essence of friendship, told through the story of two young boys. It is the story of Shane and Robert, best friends whose seemingly unbreakable bond makes them the pride of their parents. But in one critical episode, Shane makes a sudden, wrong choice — resulting into dire consequences that threaten to ruin a special relationship. The initial installment of “Stories From the heart” series, Making the Right Choices represents a masterful, deeply personal triumph, by the author, who has crafted a lesson-filled, visually arresting children book that encourages children to embrace the values of trust, loyalty, and forgiveness. “In writing the book, I asked our son who was four years old to read it” says Makinde. “Suddenly, he started crying. I asked him what was wrong and in between heavy sobs, said he was sad that Shane was losing his best friend that he loved so much because Shane had made a wrong choice. His reaction to the book resulted in “Making the Right choices…for me and my friends”.
