Annie's Chair

Reach for this book when your toddler or preschooler is struggling with the concept of ownership or reacting strongly to anyone touching their favorite things. It is a perfect choice for navigating those early social hurdles where 'mine' is the favorite word in a child's vocabulary. Annie's Chair follows a young girl named Annie who has a very special, small chair that is strictly hers. When others, particularly her dog Benny, try to use it, Annie's possessiveness is put to the test. The story explores the frustration of having your personal space invaded and the gradual realization that things are more fun when shared. It is an ideal read for children aged 2 to 5 who are beginning to navigate playdates or sibling dynamics. This book helps normalize the intense feelings of attachment children have toward their belongings while gently modeling how to let others in.
