Following the success and from the same creative team of Little One and Son comes Brothers and Sisters. This lyrical, stunning picture book is a warm-hearted tribute to siblings and their magical bond, with stunning art by award-winning illustrator Sonja Wimmer. It’s true that sometimes we fight when we want to play with the same toys. But when night falls, we snuggle up together and fall asleep while we read fairy tales to each other. We’re similar in so many ways! And we’re different in others. But one thing is for sure, and that is that we’ll always be there to help each other out. It doesn’t matter if stormy nights or evening shadows come to visit us. As long as we are together, we will get through them. We’ve learned so many things together, and discovered that the day and the night, even though they seem so different, form a part of the same melody. Brothers and Sisters is an inclusive picture book, both for boys and girls, for brothers by blood and for brothers of life. Both sisters and brothers appear in this magic tale that will delight the little ones in the house.

“The book explores the feeling that children have about their siblings. The illustrations show children of diverse backgrounds and abilities (there are children in wheelchairs, children wearing glasses, etc.) The book is easy to read, very rhythmic in its style.”
“It is a very sweet book with beautiful illustrations. I kept thinking of my own childhood and my relationship with my brother and could relate to the fighting and the playing together. Siblings have a shared history and this is a wonderful book that shows this.”
