Reach for this book when your child is struggling with the 'blurting out' phase or finding it difficult to wait for their turn during exciting events. It is a perfect tool for children who have big questions and even bigger enthusiasm, helping them understand that waiting for the right moment actually leads to better learning. Through the story of Katie and her aunt Kayla, a professional firefighter, children see a relatable model of how to manage impulsivity.

It is ideal for the 5 to 7 age range, providing a gentle mirror for their own classroom experiences while teaching them that patience is a skill they can practice and master.
