Description
A powerful new voice in children’s literature is making her debut. At just 9 years old, Naina J.M.D.’s “Sister Love” (AMPLE Publications, Oct. 27, 2026) is a warm, emotionally honest story about two sisters learning to navigate conflict, communication, and the importance of repairing relationships. The book also marks a major milestone for its publisher, AMPLE Publications, as its first title to enter the United States market. AMPLE Publications operates as the U.S. publishing imprint under the broader AMPLE House global platform, which integrates storytelling, education, and leadership.
Part of the “Girl Power Diaries” series, “Sister Love” blends storytelling with Social Emotional Learning (SEL), offering children a relatable and accessible way to understand their feelings, practice empathy and build stronger relationships. Written from a child’s perspective, the book stands out in a crowded marketplace by speaking directly to how children actually experience and process emotions.
In “Sister Love,” moments of misunderstanding and hurt feelings between two siblings unfold into opportunities for reflection, empathy and reconciliation. The story reinforces that while emotions are always valid, connection, communication and saying “I’m sorry” are essential life skills.
AMPLE Publications sees “Sister Love” as a natural introduction to U.S. readers. The launch reflects a broader commitment to impact: a portion of proceeds will support library-building and literacy initiatives within underserved communities through the Sustain-A-Bean ecosystem.
