Big Sister, Little Sister Book

The Big one gets new clothes. The Little one gets hand-me-downs. The Big one does everything first. The Little one is always catching up But the little one can do some things well, and can even teach the older one a thing or two…. Big sisters and little sisters alike will agree: this is a sassy and touching celebration of sisterhood for all ages.

With generous dollops of humor and insight, Pham portrays a little girl who delineates the differences between her older sister and herself. Swimming in a huge, puffy-sleeved polka dot dress, she grouses, "The Big Sister gets all the new clothes. I'm the Little Sister. I get all her old clothes." Pen-and-ink vignettes express all the nuances of this sweet-and-sour relationship, from squabbling over a messy room to sharing scary stories while safely tucked in bed. (ages 4 to 6)
