Roto and Roy: Helicopter Heroes

A parent might reach for this book when their vehicle-loving child is struggling with the concept of teamwork, wanting to do everything themselves, or feeling competitive with friends. Roto and Roy are two helicopter friends who each believe their own skills are the best. But when a forest fire proves too big for either of them to handle alone, they must learn to combine their unique strengths to save the day. This action-packed story beautifully illustrates the power of collaboration, bravery, and recognizing that everyone has a valuable part to play. It's a perfect early chapter book for children transitioning from picture books.
