Meet Andy who is prodded by his Mom to ask a friend to play on a summer day. Always wanting to be the one asked to do things instead of doing the asking, much like all of us, Andy initially resists but eventually sets out to knock on his friend's door. Along the way, Andy thinks of all the things his friend might say or do. He might have other friends over and play games Andy isn't good at, which could make him the target of jokes. None of these things happens, of course, as Andy learns to trust those who trust him and what it means to be a real friend in this book for early readers ages 6-9.

Autorenporträt
Working to reduce anticipated fears in kids, Josh Nathan, MA, wrote this book by tapping into theories related to interpersonal deception, nonverbal communication, and anticipated emotion. Graduating Magna Cum Laude with a B.S. in Journalism from Northwestern University, he nabbed a Colorado Broadcaster's Association Award in 2001 for his weather program featuring children who each presented a portion of an on-air forecast. One of 72 hand picked employees to begin a new CBS station in southern California, Josh still holds his National Weather Association Broadcaster's Seal of Approval. After earning his M.A. in Communication, Josh left broadcasting to teach at The Art Institute of Colorado. He has written journal papers, magazine articles, and a textbook. A fervent public speaker, he most recently shared his expertise in New York at the first U.S. Conference for the Centre for Media and Celebrity Studies. His hobbies include writing and travel, where he often finds his most valuable ideas in what he considers to be the most active form of learning. He is fluent in English and Spanish. Linda Nathan, MA CCC-SLP, always knew she wanted to become a Speech-Language Pathologist, earning her M.A. in the subject from the University of Colorado at Boulder. While working at Spaulding Rehabilitation, she earned her Certificate of Clinical Competence in Speech Pathology (CCC-SLP). Beginning her work in the Denver Public Schools, she took a brief break with the birth of her two children only to return to more than 20 years in the Cherry Creek School District. Linda retired in 2012, but still sees children in her private practice. Earlier this year, her thoughts about how to mitigate elementary school standardized test anxiety were picked up and published by the National Education Association. Often seen perusing books for her grandson, she always looks for those with a message. In "Too Mad to Trust," she teamed up with her son, Josh, to help get that message out. She combed through the manuscript, ensuring its prose almost create a linguistic exercise. Her hobbies include travel and cooking. She and her husband, Andy, recently celebrated more than 45 years together.
