About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is struggling with the impulsive urge to grab toys or is finding it difficult to share during playdates. It provides a relatable mirror for those big 'I want it!' feelings that often lead to tug-of-wars and hurt feelings between friends or siblings. Through a humorous story about two dogs, children learn that while wanting something is natural, how we react to that feeling is what keeps friendships strong. Designed for the 4 to 6 age range, the book uses simple text and expressive illustrations to model the transition from 'mine' to 'ours.' It is an ideal tool for parents looking to validate a child's desire for an object while gently introducing the concepts of waiting and collaborative play. By focusing on the emotional rewards of sharing, it turns a common behavior struggle into a moment of connection.
