A Space for Me

Alex needs a break from his pesky little brother, Lucas, so he creates a space for himself, but soon realizes that he and Lucas need time together too.It’s just not fair! Alex’s big sister has her own room, but Alex has to share a room with their little brother, Lucas, who makes noise, plays with Alex’s toys, and takes over both sides of their room. One day, when Lucas breaks Alex’s favorite dragon, spills all the crayons, and throws puzzle pieces into the air, Alex has had enough! All Alex wants is a quiet space for himself. In the backyard he creates the perfect spot to read, play, think, and dream. But when Lucas misses him, Alex helps his brother build his own special space too. Some days Alex spends time in his space by himself. Some days Lucas plays in his space by himself. And some days the brothers play in their room–a space for both of them together.
