Reach for this book when your child is struggling with physical boundaries, sibling rivalry, or the concept of sharing a finite space. It serves as a gentle social-emotional primer for children who feel protective of their 'territory' and need to see the value in making room for others. The story follows a series of animals who all discover a lost red wool hat and decide to squeeze inside, one by one. Each new arrival asks permission, and despite the growing crowd, the current residents always find a way to make space. It is a cozy, repetitive tale that emphasizes radical hospitality and the idea that our hearts, and our homes, can always stretch a little further. Ideal for preschoolers, it transforms the stressful concept of sharing into a collaborative, humorous game of 'will it fit?' while modeling polite social interactions.
