YOUR CHILDREN? Taking turns? Learning to share? Children 2-5 years, even their siblings, can learn to share and take turns. In addition to this delightful story are 6 activities and crafts.

Kathleen Brady, a home child care provider for the military, wrote this story based on an activity she uses regularly in her program. One day, Autumn, a three year old, brings a doll from home to show everybody. Naturally, the other children want to play with it. She doesn't want them to. This creates a problem of how to get them to share. How to get them to take turns. Mrs. Brady had to make it fair, make it fun!

Instead of illustrations, Kathleen hired a photographer and hired her daycare children to depict scenes from the story in full color. She also obtained permission from the parents to use the children's first names.

Kathleen Brady was born in Columbus, Ohio. When her family's television set broke in the fourth grade, she entertained her younger brothers by making up stories. They didn't buy another set for almost a year. That was the first time she expressed her imagination. These days, she reads her daycare children a mixture of her own stories and those from other authors. She derives her inspiration from many sources (Even though she has several television sets around the house - with cable!).

She enjoys hiking trails, camping, fishing, sewing, painting, decorating the house and playing with the children. She often takes her own children to the pool, the beach, or rollerblading around the block. She and her husband have three children. Chrysta, Craig and Erin. Being in the military they generally move every three years or so. She would like to one day open a daycare center after they retire.
