From the New York Times best-selling illustrator of Goodnight, Goodnight Construction Site and Stick and Stone comes a sweetly humorous celebration of the love between siblings and the power of imagination. In this warm, funny story from beloved creator Tom Lichtenheld, a younger sister impatiently awaits her older brother's return from school. As his bus draws closer, she imagines all the fantastical adventures that await them. From climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro in the playground to building a cardboard castle, every adventure large or small is more fun... when my brother gets home. Siblings of all sorts will cherish this imaginative reminder that the greatest thrill of all is simply being with the people we love.

"From the striped, marmalade cat to the scruffy, up-for-anything dog, everyone is supercharged and ready to go...their imaginations make their ordinary suburb quite extraordinary. The characters' energy explodes from this endearing tribute to sibling interactions and affection."--Kirkus, STARRED review

 

 

"It's a touching story of anticipation rewarded and unalloyed affection reciprocated."--Publishers Weekly
