Big Sister and Little Sister: A Heartwarming Picture Book About Running Away and Love for Children (Ages 4-8)

Great book for big and little sisters of all ages. It's a kid's book about a big sister who always helps her little sister out and one day the little sister is able to comfort the big sister. It's very sweet and touching and a good reminder for sisters to always look out for each other.

I have 2 daughters and found this book while searching for a new story about sisters. The reviews were so good, and the pictures I could see so sweet that I ordered it. When it arrived I read it to myself and indeed my eyes did smart towards the end. But instead of thinking about my daughters I found myself thinking of myself and my 2 older sisters. I related perfectly to the conflicting feelings of the little sister, and to the conclusion in which love for her big sister won out, but she still kept her afternoon alone to herself, something that's hers alone. I adore the illustrations and feel the story is perfectly told for about 3-7 year olds - just enough repetition for new readers, too. I'm impressed with the way it addresses the topic of conflict between sisters, without making anyone the bad guy, or without being obnoxious or shallow. My daughters are still a little too young for this book but I expect it will become a classic in our family. My highest compliments to this author.

This book is so sweet. I have two daughters - ages 2 and 4. I love that it portrays the importance of both the big sister and the little sister. I have always reminded my older daughter to set a good example for her little sister. However, after reading this book, I also remember to point out to my older daughter when her younger sister follows her example, and praise my older daughter for teaching her. I look forward to my little one being old enough to read this book, too!

I have four girls, ages 6, 5, 2, and almost 1. The older three *adore* this book. They pore over it, telling each other "you're the little sister, I'm the big sister!" or vice versa. It's a useful tool for helping children in either role of big or little sister feel empathy for the other. The story is simple and relatable for little ones, and really very touching.

I have 5 and 2.5 year old daughters. I got each of them a "Sister" book for chirstmas this year. They both LOVE their books. This book is sweet with a nice little reminder to big sisters who can be a little too helpful to younger siblings. It is old fashioned in its illustrations which makes it simple and sweet.

This is one of my favorite children's books. It is sweet and wholesome. I have one for my two girls who are now six and nine and my six year old still enjoys having this read to her. I plan to buy one for my granddaughters as I have one and one due in December.

I remember this book from when I was young, such a good story about sisters !

This is such a cute book and I love the story but I'm not sure who printed the cover of the book. It's off center and looks unprofessional. I want it to give it to my boss as a gift for his baby shower, but I'm kind of embarrassed giving it to him because it looks like I printed it myself

I remembered reading a very sweet, moving book about sisters when I was younger that really stayed with me, but couldn't recall the title or author. After a bit of internet searching, I realised it was this one and immediately ordered it. It is a beautiful, simple story about a bossy older sister and the slightly resentful younger sister. There are lovely details in both the gorgeous, soft focus illustrations and the writing (I particularly remembered the fact that the older sister would hold out a handkerchief and say 'Here, blow' if the younger sister started to cry) and the story is very touching: the younger sister, irritated by her sibling's constant watchfulness, decides to hide one day. However, when she hears her older sister crying, she is filled with remorse. There is never anyone, she realises, to offer the big sister a handkerchief. The ending is, of course, a happy one, but it has a sweet, haunting quality, much like Shirley Hughes' 'Dogger'. There are no parents in this book; it is a world in which two girls learn to look out for each other. Perfect for girls, especially those with sisters!

our oldest daughter (4 y.o.) loves this story, and she has to hold her little sister's hand (20 months old) when we read it. They are so cute of course, but most importantly it seems that she feels she has a responsability towards her little sister... I have to admit that the last page made me cry a little the first times I read it... (notre ainée (4 ans) adore cette histoire et tient à tenir la main de sa petite sœur (20 mois) lorsqu'on lit l'histoire. Depuis, nous avons l'impression qu'elle se sent responsable de sa petite sœur et comprend qu'elle doit "montrer l'exemple". J'admets que j'ai versé ma petite larme les premières fois que j'ai lu l'histoire (la dernière page précisément)...

My sister and I had this book as children. After a family bereavement, I just had to buy a copy to cheer her up. It's a lovely story about how young sisters learn to appreciate each other.

This is a sweet book that everyone who is/has a sister needs to read and own. I immediately ordered several additional copies to give as gifts.

I bought this classic children's story for a five year old who has just become a big sister. I first bought it forty years ago for my own daughter when she became a big sister. Even after all these years it is not really dated and I think it's perfect
