This is a Kevin Henkes book really no more needs to be said. I will add that this book really captures the big sister to little sister relationship. I had the exact same happy and relieved feelings when my little sister could pick up where I left off. Kevin Henkes captures childhood perfectly.

Grades K-2
Children's picture book. Sheila Rae is so brave until she becomes lost. She receives help from her younger sister, Louise. Kevin Henkes writes amazing children's books, this story is no exception. Humor and fun drawings. Use in units on friendship, character traits and family.

Mommy says: Kevin Henkes is just dandy. Here's a story about a very brave big sister who learns just how brave her timid little sister is. Younger siblings will love this.

This book is so cute. I cried. I'm sending it to my little sister when she goes away to college. It's only available in paperback, boo! Buy a copy so it stays in print!

We all get scared sometimes, even Sheila Rae. Good lesson with some satisfying laughs along the way. (Who knew a jump rope could come in so handy on the playground?)
