Smaller Sister | Maggie Edkins Willis
Pickpick

Smaller Sister is graphic novel that communicates the importance of sisterhood and self-awareness. I think this book would be a great addition to Health Education classes. It highlights a variety of pressures that pre-teens and teens face in their lives at school and home. This book and its themes are necessary for young readers.

A really wonderful graphic novel. I didn‘t really read the blurb for this before diving in, I figured it was just a story about being the younger sister and getting along with each other. In fact “smaller sister” refers to the older sisters battle with anorexia. It‘s a really engaging and honest story, beautifully done. My 14 year old read it after me and said “wow mum I can see why you hate diets now”. So thank you to the author!!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
