KIRKUS STARRED REVIEW
One Mom + One Me = Just Right -- Little Sisters is a joyful only-child picture book An only child daydreams about having one, and then many, little sisters, and all the fun they could have together. But after dreaming up a hundred pretend sisters, she realizes her family just right. An only child with a big personality conjures a little sister to share with. One sister becomes two, then five, until the room overflows with paint-splatters, secret snack missions, candy towers, and peals of laughter. The build up of make-believe sisters feels boundless--yet when they disappear, she notices how Mama is still there. During an exuberant hug, she understands: one mom and one me are perfectly, wonderfully enough. Perfect for ...- Children ages 2 or older--especially only children--who crave big-imagination stories that reassure them "one is wonderful"
- Bedtime shelves and cozy mother-and-daughter snuggles, from nightly read-alouds to spontaneous "just because" moments
- Mother's Day or Mom's birthday gifts from her one-and-only child
- Small-family celebrations such as Father's Day read-alouds, adoption-day keepsakes, or Easter basket stuffers that outlast chocolate eggs
- Classrooms and teachers seeking a multicultural read-aloud or global stories for children ages 4-8 to diversify story time
- Libraries and parents hunting for a Japanese girl picture book or Asian family picture book with authentic characters
- Families and educators browsing translated picture books, international picture books, or other award-winning translated kids books
- Gift givers and fans of Olivia, Saturday, and Me & Mama who want another lively heroine with a big heart
