Sammy's epic bad day is followed by loneliness when, preoccupied by autistic brother Benji's moods, his family barely notices. But Benji does notice, and he reaches out to his big brother in his own special way. The spare text and sweeping acrylic and colored-pencil illustrations capture the emotions of both an autistic child and his sometimes-overlooked sibling. A spot-on and heartwarming snapshot of sibling connection.

From Antelope to Zebra, a boy tests an alphabet of animals to find a pet that won't trigger his sister's allergies. A featherless, furless, hairless lizard fits the bill. Expressive animals and explosive sneezes of escalating intensity entertain but also distract readers from the book's alphabet concept, making this best suited for slightly older audiences. The singsongy text and dynamic illustrations deliver a diverse menagerie.

Aneel's Dada-ji (paternal grandfather) tells an exaggerated story of his youth and how he gained "the power of the tiger" by eating the best roti in town. Excited by the tale, Aneel experiments in the kitchen to re-create the Indian flatbread and likewise gain superhuman strength. Warm acrylic and colored-pencil drawings zestfully capture the tale within a tale. A Hindi glossary is appended.
