Big Brothers Are the Best

(4) PS Illustrated by Kirsten Richards. Nearly identical texts celebrate being an older sibling. Focusing on the good ("Little babies drink bottles. Big sisters eat cupcakes!"), with a nod to the less-so ("Little babies are LOUD and a little smelly"), the overly purposeful books take a decidedly positive and empowering approach to the topic. The friendly illustrations reinforce the big kid's important role in the family. Review covers these Siblings Are the Best titles: Big Brothers Are the Best and Big Sisters are the Best.
