When you share the track, everyone’s story can roll forward.
Toby loves his toy trains perfectly lined up; red, blue, yellow, green- everything just right. But when Sunny asks to play, Toby’s plans derail, and his big feelings come rumbling through. With a little help from Miss Maple, Toby learns that sharing isn’t about losing control. it’s about learning to connect, take turns, and enjoy the ride together.
Through warm watercolor illustrations and steady, heart-centered storytelling, Toby and the Turn-Taking Train helps children understand the value of cooperation, empathy, and flexibility. By practicing calm breathing, naming emotions, and building trust, Toby discovers that teamwork makes the day run smoother, and playtime a lot more fun.
