A warm story about sharing, patience and friendship
What happens when two children want the same toy?
Maya is happily playing with the nursery’s bright red fire engine when Theo asks for a turn. Maya is not ready to let it go and worries that she may not get it back.
With calm support from Miss Amina, Maya and Theo learn how to ask politely, wait patiently and keep a promise. Using simple language and a child-friendly sand timer, they discover that taking turns does not mean losing the fun—and that playing together can be even better.
