You're the Best Sister Ever


Book Description

For better or for worse, your sister is with you for life. She knows all your deepest, darkest secrets, and finally has gotten to the age where she won't share them with anyone. You're the Best Sister Ever is a collection of bold, sassy illustrations and funny, honest insights into one of the deepest bonds women experience. Some sample truths, from the affectionate to the witty: "You love my friends, but dislike my enemies more than I do.'' "You supply me with a nice second wardrobe.'' "You know what I wear (and what I eat) when I think no one else is around, and you still seem to love me.'' Just hip enough not to be sappy, this book is the perfect gift for that one-of-a-kind sister.

Sona Sharma, Very Best Big Sister?


Book Description

Can Sona be the best big sister ever when she’s not sure she even wants a baby sister or brother? Brimming with warmth and charm, this story set in India will resonate with new older siblings everywhere. Sona Sharma's house is full of three generations of people who joke often and argue sometimes. Relatives come over unannounced, the phone rings frequently, and friends drop by all the time. Then one day Amma tells Sona that she is going to have a baby. Is that good? Sona isn’t so sure. She doesn’t want to share her room or her things with a new baby, not to mention the attention of Amma, Appa, Thatha, and Paatti. And despite Amma's assurance that the sky always has room for new stars, Sona doesn’t feel stretchy or bighearted like the sky. But when she learns there will be a baby-naming ceremony, she’s determined to find the best name for her new brother or sister—one as nice as her own, a Hindi word for “gold.” Perfectly pitched to young readers, this tale of warming up to change is followed by a glossary of words from India to explore in the story.
