Boss for a Day

Reach for this book when your child is struggling to share control or when sibling dynamics have become a constant power struggle. Tomie dePaola captures the relatable friction between twins Moffie and Morgie, specifically Moffie's habit of using her ten-minute age advantage to dictate every activity. When their mother intervenes, Moffie attempts to let Morgie lead, leading to a humorous and insightful lesson on what it actually means to be a leader versus a boss. It is an ideal pick for early readers aged 5 to 8 who are navigating the social complexities of teamwork and the value of seeing things from someone else's perspective. You will appreciate how it models behavioral change without being overly preachy, using gentle humor to diffuse the tension of sibling rivalry.
