About This Book
Reach for this book when your older child is struggling to maintain their patience with a younger sibling who constantly wants to be involved in their play. It is particularly helpful for families navigating the 'helper' stage, where a younger child's well-intentioned interference feels like a disruption to an older child's creative projects. The story follows Sam as he builds a dinosaur and learns to navigate his little sister's persistent offers to help. This gentle narrative validates the very real frustration and anger an older sibling feels when their personal space is invaded, while modeling a compassionate way to set boundaries. By showing Sam finding a creative role for his sister rather than just pushing her away, it provides a blueprint for healthy conflict resolution. It is ideal for children ages 3 to 7 who are learning to balance their need for independence with their love for their family.
