Little Brothers & Little Sisters
Little Brothers & Little Sisters | Monica Arnaldo
3 posts | 4 read | 1 to read
Little sisters and little brothers all long for the same few things when it comes to their older siblings: a turn to play, a place on the team, a chance to shine. This book starts with four pairs of siblings in and around an apartment complex, each expressing through play and daily life the many gripes and pitfalls of younger siblings. Subtly, the narrative shifts to reflect the good things that come with having an older sibling: a helping hand, a partner in crime, a friend for life. The book ends on a high note--when it comes to brothers and sisters, the good outweighs the bad, and both big and little siblings have a special place in each others' hearts. Minimal text paired with impressionistic, full-spread illustrations creates weight and emotion in this lovely book that will help kids feel understood in all the pains and joys of siblinghood.

Geared toward the younger brother or sister, which is nice. I feel like there are a lot of books that deal with what it is like to be the older child getting a new sibling, but not for the younger kid who just wants to do what the bigger kids are doing.

This is a sweet book about younger siblings wanting to be included and looking up to their older siblings. I read it to my oldest and she enjoyed it and I think took something away from it, but I think it is aimed for towards the younger sibling. 3.5🌟

4⭐️ This is a look at the life of little brothers and sisters everywhere. Most all want the same thing: the secret password, a promotion, a friend. A lovely book for the older child who is or is about to become the Big to a Little.
