Publisher’s Description:
The Friendly City tells the story of New Burbia, a town that is home to the best and most polite drivers in the world. The people there drive imaginative and fanciful cars that make everyone smile. One day a new mayor who has some well-meaning ideas is elected. Chaos ensues when he implements his new plan to remove all the road signs and traffic lights. (He reasons that the restrictive road signs are not needed since New Burbia is home to the best drivers in the world). Subsequently the city becomes not-so-friendly as the formerly agreed upon rules of the road are disregarded.

In time a small community forms whose members commit to remembering and observing the old rules of the road, and to bringing kindness back to the city. Together they find joy in welcoming others, and helping to make the city a friendlier place again.

1 review for The Friendly City

  1. X. Meyer –

    Our quickly changing world demands that we engage some of the big questions of cultural values with children as soon as possible. The Friendly City proves to be an excellent resource in helping young children understand what it means when our culture abandons Christian values to embrace relativism along with the resulting consequences. The story is entertaining as well and informative, and I would highly recommend it to any parent interested in imbuing good moral sense in their children.
