Reach for this book when your child is in a 'do it myself' phase or takes so much pride in being a helper that they refuse assistance when they are clearly struggling. It is an ideal choice for the child who equates independence with strength and views needing help as a failure of their own competence. The story follows Toad, a dedicated tow truck driver who saves everyone from flat tires to muddy ditches but feels embarrassed when his own truck breaks down. Through rhyming text and charming vehicular illustrations, the book gently models that even the strongest helpers occasionally need a hand. It is perfectly pitched for preschoolers and early elementary students, providing a low pressure way to discuss the vulnerability of asking for help and the beauty of mutual support in a community.
