This book teaches children to share. It would be a great story to use in Kindergarten and first grade. For an activity, the students could work on filling in a writing prompt, "I can share my _______, it makes me feel ________."

This book would be visually appealing to younger children. I would use this book in a K-2 classroom. This book would be great to let children know that we all have differences, and that's okay.
