Reach for this book when your child is navigating the social complexities of sharing space, joining a group, or learning how small acts of kindness can make a big difference.

The story beautifully models empathy and cooperation for children aged 3 to 7. Beyond its lesson on generosity, it introduces a subtle scientific wonder, as the mushroom grows because of the rain itself.
