PS
Monkey is going to be a big brother, and, again, he's not ready (Monkey: Not Ready for Kindergarten). Eventually, his older brother and parents encourage him to help the family prepare by sorting clothes, building furniture, and going to doctor's visits. A hand-written font and childlike art combine with authentic emotions and dialogue for a satisfyingly kid-centric exploration of a family's growth.
