That's Mine!

The hardest lesson on the playground.

Ages: 2–5
In this book: Sharing · Friendship · Turn-taking

Sharing is not natural and pretending otherwise helps nobody. This story sits with the sting of handing something over, then finds the reason it can be worth it. For the age when "mine" is the loudest word in the house.
