In this rhyming story, an inquisitive first-grader's interest in another student's toy leads to a helpful conversation with her teacher about the difference between a child's wants and needs at school. The repetitive phrase "We all need something sometimes," consistently highlights the message of the book, as Bea McGee realizes that equitable does not mean equal. Readers will gain perspective that there is a difference between needs and wants, and that they themselves experience both -- just like the characters. The story addresses the varying needs at school, spanning from special education modifications, social supports, socio-economic challenges, and everyday happenings in the classroom. It is a story of empathy and understanding.

About the Author

I am a wife, a mother of two adventurous little boys, and an early-childhood educator for the last 20 years in New Jersey and Maryland. Currently I am a kindergarten teacher in Princeton, New Jersey. I'm known for enjoying summers at the beach, spending way too much money at Target, and for making a stellar Buffalo Chicken Dip that you won't be able to walk away from.You could say I've been writing my whole life. It all started in first grade when I began creating my own "hard cover" books out of Highlights magazine covers, lots of tape and staples while my dad typed away at his typewriter next to me. Getting my thoughts out on paper always seemed more natural to me than speaking them most of the time. I am a first-time children's picture book author and wrote my book to solve a recurring problem in my kindergarten classroom. I wanted to create a story that would help teachers, parents, and counselors. My hope is to turn this book into an engaging series that would tackle other problems in the everyday classroom in a relatable and relevant way.
