A big sister teaches her younger siblings some important words, like responsibility, perseverance, and respect.

Comments

A great book!  Especially good for reading aloud. Positive messages, ex: ‘Different means nobody’s ever the same. All bodies are different and so are all brains. Different is what makes this world so great. Different is never something to hate’. And: ‘But many things are too old for you that lots of your friends may still get to do. Inappropriate is the word our mom picks if you want to watch PG-13 when you’re six.’
