Reviews

"Cute story! Would make a perfect gift for a big sister of a baby brother!"— Catherine Hankins, Cleveland Public Library

"Pauline Oud does a great job of showing that often our desires must be replaced with acceptance of what really is. If we look hard enough we can always find the silver lining."— Melissa Larabee, educator

"An excellent and interesting book about appreciating your siblings." — Rogene Carter, educator

"Adorable and fun! The perfect book for a (temporarily-disappointed) older (pre-K-ish) sibling."— Tara Hutson, Bibliofiler

"A lovely wee kids book with a great message about acceptance bubbling beneath the joyful drawings and simple story... a great read-aloud for the young ones that seems very re-readable, and could easily become a favorite with your kids."— Craig Sisterson, Herald on Sunday
