Description

A perfect picture book about sharing and caring for very young siblings. When Little Brother is unhappy, Big Brother always knows why--and makes everything okay. But when Little Brother takes Big Brother's favorite toy, Big Brother begins to cry. Perhaps this time, Little Brother can find a way to make him feel better. With spare language and warm illustrations, Penny Dale captures the unspoken bond that exists between even very young siblings.
