This was super cute, and I loved the illustrations. I don't know if I've ever actually read a book about being an only child, so this was a new perspective.

This book is really cute! However, I didn't care a whole lot for the illustrations, simply because there was a lack of color in them, But first, I'll start this review with what I liked:
1. The idea. An only child wanting to have a younger sibling is a highly common thing, and I think that a lot of kids will be able to relate to the main character of this book.
2. The progression/development. It was awesome how the author started with a little thought, and then continued to add more and more onto that initial moment.
3. The ending/message. I wasn't expecting for the book to end how it did, but it was very heartwarming and sweet (I won't spoil it)!
Now, the only thing I didn't like so much about this book was the visuals. The illustrator made a choice to not add much color, and keep things minimalistic. This didn't really work for me, and I would have liked to see some fun and bright colors to really bring this book to life.
Other than that small thing, though, I overall liked this book!

A very unusual style—and definitely an unexpected ending! But I really liked this book.

There’s a touch of absurdity here, but it actually reflects the unpredictable nature of children perfectly. One moment they dream of having a sibling to play with, and the next they’re overwhelmed with jealousy, frustration, and confusion. I know this all too well—I have two boys!

The book felt honest and refreshingly real, a nice contrast to the overly sweet and polished stories that wrap everything in a perfect bow.

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.

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.

Little Sisters is a brief yet whimsical children's picture book by Tomo Miura. With a narrative that spirals around pages in a manner that might remind a reader of a creative stream of Japanese artwork and idyllically matching illustrations, this book is a splendid celebration of little sisters and the endeavor to create and find a most charming children's picture book.
