Independence, with a helping hand

Getting dressed and fixing her hair become challenges for a determined toddler eager to manage the morning on her own. When her older sister needs help, the two find a way to make things easier together. The family setting gives the story room to explore a familiar early-childhood tension: wanting to do things independently while learning that accepting and offering help can be part of the process. Part of the Feelings & Firsts series, the book centers on autonomy, frustration, and cooperation in everyday family life.
