Chip and Skip Need Each Other

Needs and Wants Duet #1

by Toi Thomas

Daddy, I need a new game.
Mommy, I don’t want to eat my veggies.

Sometimes kids have trouble understanding what they need. It can be difficult for children to grasp the concept of how true needs and wants relate to them. That’s why I’ve written my Needs and Wants duet, to help little minds grab onto their true needs and wants.

Meant for educational purposes, but still an enjoyable light and colorful read, Chip and Skip Need Each Other, explains the importance of having what you need. It follows Chip and Skip around their neighborhood, with all its diversity. You may also want to check out, What Does Joe Need?, to learn how needs and wants can be similar, but not the same.

Working as a Special Education Teacher's Assistant, my teacher and I had some difficulty finding material that could reach our students, without being distracting, on subjects that are already hard to grasp. So, I decided to create what we needed. This book is one of four written specifically for my students with care and compassion, and I'm proud to have been able to reach them where they were.
