Why I Like the Book:
The author illustrator captures sisterhood perfectly! Having
younger sisters myself, I saw so much of myself and them in Maple and Willow. I
cracked up when Maple came out of hiding to correct Willow’s counting. The
sweet pencil illustrations wonderfully shows the relationship between sisters
and siblings in general. Siblings play together, and learn from each other. Siblings argue, siblings fight, but most importantly, siblings love each other and at the end of the day, want need each other. This story shows young children how to appreciate their sibling’s
similarities and differences in all of their interactions.
