A story about sharing — with your child in the lead
Your child receives a brand-new rainbow kite and wants to keep it all to themselves. At the park they notice another child watching the kite fly. What happens next is a small, honest story about sharing and making a friend, told with your child as the hero.
Who it's for
Children aged around 3 to 7, and parents looking for a gentle conversation starter about sharing and friendship.

Read a sample: Mia and the Rainbow Kite
Example book with fictional characters — not a customer order.
Mia's birthday present was a huge rainbow kite with a seven-coloured tail. She put on her yellow raincoat, pulled on her red boots and ran to the windy hill. “Today mine will be the most beautiful kite in the sky!” she said. She held the kite tight against her chest; it was hers alone, and she had no intention of sharing it with anyone.
On the hilltop a boy with glasses and curly red hair was sitting all alone. His name was Sam, and he had just moved in. He gazed at Mia's kite in admiration. “It's beautiful,” he said shyly. “I've never had a kite.” Mia shrugged and walked a little further away. But a small, uncomfortable feeling stirred inside her, like a tiny pebble stuck in her shoe.

Questions
Is this a good book for siblings who struggle to share?
Many families use it to start a conversation. It is a story, not a parenting method, so it works best read together and talked about.
Can I choose the friend's name?
Not at the moment. You personalise your child; the friend in the story gets a friendly name chosen by the story (never the same as your child's).
Which ages enjoy it most?
Roughly 3 to 7 years.
