Ah Ha!

A parent might reach for this book when their child is struggling with a puzzle, a building project, or cooperating with a friend. It's a perfect tool for illustrating that frustration is a normal part of problem-solving and that teamwork can lead to wonderful new ideas. In this nearly wordless story, two frogs find two halves of a circle and are stymied when they can't put them together. Their frustration turns into a game of tug-of-war until a clever bird shows them a new way to see the shapes. Soon, all three are collaborating, turning the pieces into a see-saw, a boat, and more. For ages 3-7, this book gently models resilience, the power of a fresh perspective, and the pure joy of a shared "Ah Ha!" moment, all with charming, minimalist illustrations.
