Overview
Warning: My little sister has been here...and she's left a trail of destruction along the way. So don't be surprised if you encounter scribbles or drawings or stickers pasted on the pages of this book. After all, it's what little sisters do best. On top of that she blew out my birthday candles and never stops talking. She is really annoying. Is there anything good about having a little sister? In a letter to her younger sister, an older sister narrates a medley of childhood memories, realizing that they share a special bond and have always been there for each other. Playful, childlike illustrations work seamlessly with the text in this tender and humorous exploration of sister dynamics and the universal experience of sibling relationships.
