That’s Mine! (Bilingual Vietnamese & English)

"A diverse cast of children and adults is shown, and the bright colors and dark, often bold text is eye-catching. A great addition to bilingual board book collections" - School Library Journal

When one toddler in a childcare setting takes all the toy animals for herself, she discovers that monopolizing all the toys can be a bit lonely. Will offering one of the animals to another child help bridge the gap? Now available in bilingual Vietnamese and English, this gentle exploration of early friendship helps toddlers recognize the tension between wanting everything to be "mine!" and the desire to connect with other children.

• Develop early English and Vietnamese language skills
• Relatable setting for kids in childcare settings
