Ma bakes a dozen cookies, perfect for her two kids. But as the doorbell keeps ringing, more friends arrive, and the cookies must be shared. How will they divide the treats? With each ring, the challenge grows, turning a simple snack into a delightful lesson in sharing and math. Will there be enough for everyone?
