Description
Ben and Mia are building a zoo out of blocks. Another child wants to join them and is not sure how to start.
He watches for a few seconds. He asks one small question. What he hears back tells him what to say next — and he finds there is more than one good way to connect, including simply building alongside them.
Along the way he learns that a “not right now” can mean many things, that feelings deserve care, and that wanting time alone is fine too.
The Joining Plan
- LOOK — What are they doing?
- ASK — Ask one small question about it.
- LISTEN — What did they tell me?
- CONNECT — Say or do something that fits.
- NOTICE — What happens next?
The book ends with a page for a child to write or draw their own answers.
