Illustrated by
Larry Day.
Raisin enjoys her privileged role as the youngest cow in the herd, so she's quite put out when her baby brother arrives and alters everything. Eventually she figures out her new role as big sister and realizes change isn't always bad. The conclusion may be familiar, but feisty Raisin's story, with its humorous mixed-media illustrations on handmade watercolor paper, will likely keep readers' attention.
