David McPhail's celebration of the joys—and trials—of sisterhood has been a favorite with sisters of all ages for almost twenty years. McPhail observes every lively contradiction between the pair, contrasting one girl's barefoot adventures with her sister's mismatched socks and baseball games.
The narrative embraces these small domestic squabbles alongside shared delights, following the duo from noisy arguments at the piano to quiet reconciliation over cups of tea.
The two sisters find common ground in simple pleasures, whether racing into leaf piles or drawing pictures.
Now available in a bilingual edition featuring Spanish and English text set in two colors for easy readability, a new generation of sisters will love to read this treasure . . . together.
