Overview
On a surprisingly snowy day in Texas, a young student finds himself braving recess alone...that is, until he spots a new face sitting on the school's Buddy Bench. After a quick introduction, the two spend their recess discovering fun ways to enjoy the snow. By the end of recess, both kids leave the playground with a brand new friend. This sweet story of friendship brings the Buddy Bench's purpose to life. About Buddy Benches: The Buddy or Friendship Bench is a special place in a school playground where a child can sit if they want someone to talk to or play with. Seeing a child on The Buddy Bench is a signal to other kids to ask them to play. The wonderful trend of Buddy Benches is growing across the country as schools and parent groups promote them as a powerful tool to end loneliness and promote empathy in children.

Author Information
B.D. Cottleston is the pretend name of a real writer who wants to leave it to listeners to enjoy these stories without worrying about what they were thinking when they were written. As a life-long fan of Winnie the Pooh, this author picked this pen name to celebrate the spirit of Pooh's greatest rhyme. As Pooh might say: ""Cottleston, Cottleston, Cottleston pie. A fly can't bird, but a bird can fly. Ask who B.D. is and we'll reply: Cottleston, Cottleston, Cottleston pie.""
