Can a boy learn that sharing toys brings more joy than keeping them to himself?
Charles treasures his toys, from a doctor kit to a Lionel Messi football. But when he meets new friends at the park, he's faced with a challenge: can he share his cherished possessions? As Charles navigates this dilemma, he discovers the joy of friendship and the value of sharing. Will he embrace the warmth of companionship over the comfort of his toys? This heartwarming tale explores the balance between holding on and letting go, inviting young readers to ponder what truly matters.
From beloved author-illustrator Rosemary Wells comes a sweet and relatable picture book about how friends are so much better than things and what a wonderful feeling it is to share. Every night, Charles puts his favorite things to bed: his little doctor kit, his racing skates, his space man, his xylophone, his magic stars, his alligator, his Lionel Messi football, and his pecka-pecka chicken farm. One day, Charles takes his toys to the park, where he meets some other kids who wants to play with him…but can Charles learn to share his favorite things?
