The siblings use angles, portions and a pie chart to divide food, comfort and scooter time fairly.
Four siblings compete and negotiate over shared resources within a family portrayed as affectionate as well as argumentative.
The story includes sibling squabbling and a child who falls from a scooter and injures her arm. Consider pausing to explore how the accident complicates the family’s attempts to decide what an equal share means.
