About the Book
★★★THE REVIEWS ARE IN!★★★
★ “Bright and captivating, this new take on sibling relations is a needed tale for all.”
—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
★ “Schwartz, a master of restraint and insight, scores again with this story, a thinly veiled and smart lesson for any kid who feels put upon by someone older and bigger.”
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
★ “Any sister will appreciate this one, no matter where they fall in the family order.”
—Booklist (starred review)
“[An] excellent look at sibling power plays. . . This satisfying story for both older and younger siblings is a real winner.”
—School Library Journal
“Bright, sunny pictures and low-key text work together to capture the frustration and injustice of a younger sibling’s station while also bringing humor to the details. While there are many picture books from the big kid’s perspective, fewer come from the younger point of view, or do so in such a sensitive way.”
—The Horn Book
