About This Book

My Turn, Your Turn supports children with learning to share - a complex social emotional skill.

Our Review

This engaging picture book tackles the challenging concept of sharing through relatable scenarios that preschoolers encounter daily. Author Taryn Mason skillfully breaks down this complex social emotional skill into understandable moments, showing children navigating toys, playground equipment, and attention in ways that feel authentic to their experiences. The simple, clear language and vibrant illustrations make the abstract idea of taking turns concrete for young minds just beginning to grasp social dynamics. This early childhood development resource addresses a crucial milestone in emotional growth that many children struggle with.

What sets this sharing book apart is its gentle, non-preachy approach that validates children's feelings while guiding them toward positive social interactions. The turn-taking scenarios are developmentally appropriate for the 3-5 age range, presenting sharing not as giving something up but as a pathway to more enjoyable play with others. Parents will appreciate how the book opens conversations about empathy and cooperation without feeling like a lesson, while children will connect with the familiar situations. This social skills book provides exactly the right foundation for building emotional intelligence through everyday interactions.
