For me, this book felt a bit... anticlimactic. There wasn't much of a story to it and at the end, it got a bit sad before immediately bouncing right back, like whiplash.

hank you to Netgalley and Arctis for letting us read and enjoy this book.

Now my daughter loved this book. She is always asking for a sister I tell her no haha. This book covers what it would be like to have a little sister and tons of little sisters and the pros and cons and then back to why no sisters is great. My daughter was engaged the whole time and was laughing her head off. The artwork was also cute.

As an only child myself, there is very much a lack of representation when it comes to children's books. I really don't recall any stories from when I was a child where they were just like me, so I was really excited to stumble upon this.

It was a fun little read, but it came to an abrupt end. It was fun seeing all the different scenarios and mischief that could be achieved if only there were little sisters to experience it all with. But then sudden'y the imagination was over, and the story ends with being happy to have the mother all to themselves. I don't know what kind of ending I would have preferred, but I think it could have been a bit better. I was surprised when I went to go the the next page, and there wasn't one. The end just didn't seem like it was the end.

We loved the illustrations and intent in this cheerful little children's book. However, there were a couple points where the story felt like it skipped a phrase, or moved too quickly to the next idea so I found it clunky.

I think there was a missed opportunity with this to be used as a tool for welcoming siblings into your family, or promoting independence within the solidarity of being an only child. Instead, I got the middle of the road feeling of here's all the great things a sibling could give you, but you're not getting one.

Overall, it's a cute story with lots of potential, but feels somewhat incomplete.

This is a sweet and thoughtful story about a little girl who imagines what life might be like if she had siblings. Through her daydreams, she explores the joys and chaos of having little sisters, only to realize by the end that she already has everything she needs to be happy: a loving and present parent.

As more families choose to have fewer children, the themes of this book feel especially relevant in today’s world. It gently affirms that love, attention, and connection don’t require a full house.

Overall, it’s an engaging little book with adorable illustrations and a poignant message.

Thank you to NetGalley and Arctis Books for the privilege of receiving this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Cute and simple -- I liked it. Very quick and cute way to show being an only child is great too. I like the illustration style as well.
