About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is struggling with the transition from 'me' to 'we.' Whether they are having trouble sharing blocks or finding it difficult to wait their turn during a group activity, this book provides a gentle, low-pressure introduction to the concept of teamwork. It uses simple language and relatable classroom scenarios to show that working together often leads to more fun and better results. Designed for preschoolers and kindergartners, the story focuses on the social-emotional rewards of cooperation rather than just the rules of behavior. It helps children recognize that their peers have similar goals and that by combining efforts, they can achieve things they couldn't do alone. Parents will find it a helpful tool for modeling kindness, patience, and the basic foundations of friendship in a way that feels natural and achievable for a young child.
