Most of us have at least one friend. Many of us have many friends. But how often do we stop and wonder what makes a friendship? It can be easy to take friendships for granted and not wonder about the chemistry that makes them work. Sometimes it is only when friendships go badly wrong that we question what it is to be truly good friends with someone. And sometimes it is in times of loneliness or when we are being bullied that we wonder how we can make genuine friendships. Mates Traits is a set of 32 colourful, light-hearted cards that describe some of the characteristics of real friendships. Using delightful cartoon characters of Australian birds and animals created by artist Mat Jones, Mates Traits attempts to unlock the complexities of friendship-making. What do you and your friends do together? How can you make new friends? Do things always go the way you planned?
