So both girls go, and not only does Sana demand to win every game, but after the party she steals Rubina's prized party favor, a red lollipop. What's a fed-up big sister to do?- From Amazon
Siblings - new cultural experiences - Fairness
My favorite spread in this story was the chasing sequence - the tumble and scramble of a sibling tussle was too real! As an oldest sister this story of having a younger sibling tag along resonates hard even as an adult. I think this would have a similar effect to build empathy in kids towards their siblings.
