We like to share (en Inglés) - Chammi Iresha Karaputugala;Buddhika Weerakoon

We Like to Share is a warm, rhythmic story that teaches little ones how sharing turns small actions into big love. Children invite others to sit, eat, help, cuddle, and spread happiness-showing how cooperation, generosity, and empathy help a community bloom. With joyful scenes and simple refrains, the book gently builds everyday sharing habits.This book is ideal for teaching empathy and daily sharing routines in early-years classrooms, libraries, and homes.
