Overview

Ages 5 to 7 years. Based on the lives of two sisters, this story expresses the challenges and joys of growing up with a sibling who has special needs. In many ways, Rachel and Alicia are like any sisters, but Rachel knows her sister is very different and very special because she has Down syndrome. Though Rachel occasionally feels frustrations and resentment about having to help watch over her special sister, she most often feels love, acceptance, and pride for her. Exquisitely written with humour and compassion, this story focuses on the sisters' relationship and their respective places in the family.

A wonderful book [that] describes the delights and challenges of having a sibling with an intellectual disability. The illustrations are at least as terrific as the text. This book should be on the bookshelf of every family with young children. --Steven M. Eidelman, president, American Association on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities
