Waiting is hard-even for Tig!
At the neighborhood picnic, Tig wants the swing, the toy train, and his special surprise right now. His paws feel twitchy, his tail swishes fast, and his big feelings begin to take over.
With gentle encouragement from his family, Tig learns a simple plan:
- Pause his body
- Breathe in and out
- Count to three
- Ask for a turn
- Find something kind to do while he waits
Soon, Tig discovers that patience doesn't make the fun smaller-it helps everyone share it.
Tig Learns to Wait is a warm, reassuring picture book that helps preschool children understand patience, taking turns, and managing big feelings. With colorful illustrations, relatable situations, and a calming routine families can practice together, this story makes social-emotional learning approachable and fun.
A thoughtful read-aloud for children ages 3-5 at home, preschool, daycare, or kindergarten.
Help your little one pause, breathe, and grow alongside Tig!
