This book is about the resolution of conflict between children. It shows an instance of bullying and how this can be dealt with well by adults - not by aggressive discipline, but by firm and supportive negotiation. The book presents an opportunity for an adult and child to discuss children’s conflicts and how they can be resolved well.

The story line is about a young boy goes to the park with his mother and baby brother. While his mother sits with her friends, he joins other children playing in the sand pit. A conflict breaks out when another boy takes a girl’s toy and upsets her. The mother of the boy who took the toy is angry and looks as though she might hit her son, but her friend intervenes, talking to the children and helping them find a way to play well together.
