KIRKUS STARRED REVIEW
One Mom + One Me = Just Right — Little Sisters is a joyful only-child picture book
An only child daydreams about having one, and then many, little sisters, and all the fun they could have together. One sister becomes two, then five, until the room overflows with paint-splatters, secret snack missions, candy towers, and peals of laughter. The build up of make-believe sisters feels boundless—yet when they disappear, she notices how Mama is still there. During an exuberant hug, she understands: one mom and one me are perfectly, wonderfully enough.
Perfect for ...
- Children ages 2 or older—especially only children—who crave big-imagination stories that reassure them “one is wonderful”
- Bedtime shelves and cozy mother-and-daughter snuggles, from nightly read-alouds to spontaneous “just because” moments
- Mother's Day or Mom's birthday gifts from her one-and-only child
- Small-family celebrations such as Father's Day read-alouds, adoption-day keepsakes, or grad gifts for littles
- Classrooms and teachers seeking a multicultural read-aloud or global stories for children ages 4–8 to diversify story time
- Libraries and parents hunting for a Japanese girl picture book or Asian family picture book with authentic characters
- Families and educators browsing translated picture books, international picture books, or other award-winning translated kids books
- Gift givers and fans of Olivia, Saturday, and Me & Mama who want another lively heroine with a big heart

Advance Praise
What would life be like with a younger sibling? . . . Translated from French, Miura’s delightful prose is simple yet earnest, leaving ample space for well-crafted, spare illustrations. . . . Little by little, the sisters conquer that space until they fill the page—literally and metaphorically—as they wildly splash paint all over a blank canvas. . . Young readers anticipating, even hoping, for will delight in all the ways these sisters play with and enjoy each other. Start with imagination, add a sprinkle of mischief, and stir for pure joy! ― Starred Kirkus Review
