Children find they have plenty to share in this English-Spanish bilingual board book.
"I have some special things that belong just to me. I want to get along. What can I do?" So begins this charming book, now available as an English-Spanish edition, that guides young children to see that sharing is their choice, why they might choose to share, and how sharing can be good for everyone. Children are encouraged to think about the way their family, their friends, and other children share with them--and how happy they feel when this happens. "I might think, 'That's how I want to be!' I want to show that I care. So I may choose to say 'Yes!'" Colorful scenes in a variety of settings help little ones see that everyone has "plenty to share."
