A big sister talks about the things her baby sister can't do. Specific references to Korean culture (kimchee, the traditional first birthday outfits) add cultural richness, though most young children will recognize the common sibling relationship. The girls, full of vitality, are set against bright collage backgrounds of various textured papers rich in fiery oranges, reds, and pinks.

Inspired by a hat on display at the Jewish Historical Museum in Amsterdam, the author speculates about the appearance, habits, and fate of the woman who might have worn it. Subdued pencil sketches sometimes incorporate period photographs in this worthy addition to Holocaust literature. An author's note is appended.
