Genre: Children’s lit
Medium: Hardcover
Synopsis: Rubina has been invited to her very first birthday party, which sounds fun…until her mother makes her sister go along with her.
Review: This book was pretty dang heartwarming. Though, I have to say up front that I don’t have any siblings, so who knows what my reception of this book would have been like if I did. Either way, I think this book did a great job at showing how different families and cultures can be, and the anxiety produced when conforming/not conforming to a norm. And, paired with Blackall’s wonderful illustration, this book is great for siblings learning compromise and understanding each other’s feelings.
