Can I Have a Turn?

What happens when two children want the same toy?

Maya loves playing with the nursery's bright red fire engine. But when Theo politely asks for a turn, Maya is not ready to let it go. She worries that she might never get it back.

With gentle support from Miss Amina, Maya and Theo learn how to ask politely, wait patiently and keep a promise. Using a sand timer and simple words children can remember, they discover that taking turns does not mean losing the fun-and that playing together can be even better.

Can I Have a Turn? is a warm and relatable picture book that helps young children develop essential social and emotional skills, including:

• Sharing and turn-taking

Because every child can learn that there is enough fun for everyone when we take turns and play together.
