Mine, Yours... Ours!

Reach for this book when your child is struggling with the transition from solitary play to collaborative play, or when the concept of sharing feels like a personal loss. It is an ideal resource for the toddler or preschooler who has recently started playdates or is navigating the daily tug of war over toys with a sibling. The book uses a simple, rhythmic structure to explore the boundaries of ownership and the joy of collective fun. Through clear and relatable scenarios, the story models how moving from mine and yours to ours does not mean giving up one's treasures, but rather expanding the possibilities of play. It validates a child's natural possessiveness while gently nudging them toward the social rewards of teamwork. This is a foundational tool for teaching basic manners and emotional intelligence in a way that feels supportive rather than scolding.
