Will Sheila Share?
CCBC Review:
Will Sheila share?” The answer, conveyed by young toddler Sheila’s tight-fisted body language, is clearly a resounding “No!” Sheila won’t share when it comes to things like her bunny and her ball. But Sheila can share sometimes—cereal from a box, green beans from her plate, a hug and a kiss with Nana. And when Nana points out how Jess is sad when Sheila won’t share a strawberry, Sheila rises to the occasion. There’s no heavy-handed message in Elivia Savadier’s forthright picture book featuring a racially diverse family. Instead, she offers a refreshing glimpse of reality in the form of a small child just beginning to learn what it means to share, and not always willing to participate in the act. When Sheila does share, however, it becomes cause for a celebration. ©2008 Cooperative Children’s Book Center
