Synopsis

Show others you care by learning to share!

Sometimes it can be hard for toddlers to share. We share smiles, laughs, and hugs...but what about other things? Join the toddlers in this book as they discover how sharing a while can make someone smile―and be double the fun!

Young children also learn where to turn for help when sharing becomes difficult.
