A great book to read especially to big brothers and sisters. We learn all the important things that a little 6 year old thinks are necessary for their little sib to learn.

Here's another good children's book by Sarah Tsiang, I loved her book called A Flock of Shoes. This new book is a delightful book to read to children about a new baby that has arrived in the family and the older sister explains to her new baby brother about different things the baby will have to learn about from her the older sister.
The text for this book is cute, and charming, and quirky -- and the illustrations match perfectly, being cute, and charming, and quirky.
I wasn't a huge fan of the illustrations, but the story was nice enough.

A sweet, funny, charming book about a little girl who's teaching her baby brother what he needs to know in order to one day be big like her. The illustrations by Qin Leng are especially adorable.

As a child, Sarah Tsiang dreamed about being a part-time librarian and a part-time truck driver.

Somehow, this led her to writing picture books and poetry.
