"Sunny is such an adorable, lovable character, and the story is perfect for TK and early elementary students learning about patience, sharing, and taking turns."​
★★★★★
Social-emotional learning (SEL) is very important! SEL helps people understand emotions, build healthy relationships, solve problems, and make responsible choices. It supports both school success and everyday life.
★★★★★
This is such a cute book about sharing with others. I highly recommend it for teachers or parents. It is a great resource for social-emotional learning as well.
