The Day No One Played Together (A Story About Compromise)
by Donalisa Helsley
Illustrated by Sarah Harkey

 “The Day No One Played Together” is a delightful story about compromise. This is a great lesson every child should learn and is taught in a fun and uncomplicated way. The characters and storyline are very realistic. The author Donalisa Helsley, owner of  the popular face book page
 WildAboutReading does a phenomenal  job of explaining the concept of compromise in a way that any child can grasp.

The story is about two sisters Jadyn and Genesis who want to play together, but they cannot agree on what to play. Neither one wants to give in to the other so they are left playing by themselves.

The story introduces new vocabulary words such as: Disagree, Brainstorm and Compromise. The last page of the book provides the  young reader with definitions for the new vocabulary words. As a mom, I appreciate books that teach children valuable lessons and also contain a fun and interesting storyline.

A picture book would be nothing without beautiful Illustrations. Sarah Harkey's Illustrations are a wonderful companion for this book. They are visually pleasing and enhance the overall reading experience.

Children and adults will respond pleasantly to this book. It is an enjoyable story that creates a dialogue between parents and children about how to compromise. This is a perfect book for any children’s home library. It also would be a great addition to a school or preschool environment.
