Ages 3 to 10 Preschool to 5th Grade 10 pages Read aloud

The first pages

At recess in Ottawa, Amina stood at the edge of the big grassy field. A group of kids were playing tag, running and laughing in the sunshine.

Amina wanted to play too, but her feet stayed still. "What if they say no?" she wondered, twisting the end of her scarf.

What happens next? The rest of the story, every painted page and Buzzby's narration open with a free account.

Talk time questions

  • What did Amina want to do at recess?
  • What words did she use to join in?
  • How can you help someone new join a game?
