An anthology of poems about siblings--and a reminder that for every moment of sibling rivalry, there are a billion moments of loves. The fun-loving collection celebrates the living-room romps, backyard play, rainy day bickering, and strong bonds between siblings. Poets include Allan A. De Fina, Rebecca Kai Dotlich, Kristine O'Connell George, Nikki Grimes, Sara Holbrook, and Emanuel di Pasquale. Vivid watercolor illustrations depict sibling scenes both silly and heartfelt.
