Children's books about friendship

Children's books where friendship is the central thread — the bond, not the backdrop. The shelf covers first friendships in picture books, the harder friendships of school years, and the friendships of fantasy quests that bond a found family for life. One of the genres children return to most often, and one of the hardest to write without sentimentality.
