Reach for this book when you notice your child struggling with the transition from individual desire to social awareness, particularly when they witness someone else being left out. It is a gentle guide for the moment a child first realizes that their own happiness is multiplied when shared with another. Molly is thrilled to get the last root beer ice pop on a scorching summer day, but her joy is short-lived when she sees her friend missed out. This story captures the sweltering atmosphere of a rural summer and the quiet, internal shift from 'me' to 'we.' It is a perfect choice for teaching preschool and early elementary children about empathy and the simple, profound joy of making a selfless choice without being prompted by an adult.
