Jake and the Golden Rule - Paperback

by Andrew Carrier (Author)

Jake loves racing around his sunny backyard-but sharing does not come so easily. When he refuses to share his ball with Maggie and pushes Calvin out of a favorite spot, Jake begins to notice that his choices are hurting his friends.

With help from Gary the Goose, Jake discovers the Golden Rule: treat others the way you would like to be treated. He decides to try again-inviting Maggie to play, making room for Calvin, listening, waiting, and using gentle words.

Jake and the Golden Rule is a warm, brightly illustrated picture book about kindness, friendship, sharing, and everyday social choices. Young listeners see a simple pattern: Jake makes a mistake, notices its effect, learns a better way, and practices it with his friends.

The book closes with a child-friendly Golden Rule recap, discussion questions, and a draw-or-write activity for reading together at home or in a classroom.
