About This Book
A parent would reach for this book when their toddler or preschooler is struggling with the concept of sharing toys, taking turns, or navigating social conflicts on a playdate. This sweet and simple story follows two friends who both want to play with the same thing at the same time. It gently guides them through the initial frustration of not getting what they want to the happy discovery that sharing and playing together is much more fun than playing alone. With its direct message and positive reinforcement, the book is a perfect tool for the 2 to 5 year old set. It provides a straightforward model of empathy, teamwork, and kindness that young children can easily understand and apply to their own lives.
