This was a cute short and sweet book that would be a great gift for existing sisters or for a little girl who will soon become a big sister. The artwork was really nice with bright colors but not too much going on to be distracting.

[Note: This is a combined review for Sisters are Sisters Forever AND Brothers are Brothers Forever.}

These charming board books are such a delightful way to celebrate the unique bond siblings share while also exploring the ups and downs of sisterhood and brotherhood.

It’s totally normal for young siblings to have little disagreements—they’re still figuring out how to manage their emotions, share with others, and communicate effectively. So, these squabbles? They’re actually opportunities for growth, helping kids develop social skills and learn how to resolve conflicts in positive ways.

What makes these books extra special is how they gently emphasize the importance of apologizing after a fight. Once that heartfelt “I’m sorry” is said, siblings can get back to all the fun and adventures they love sharing together!

The writing is simple and accessible for young children, and the illustrations are relatable and heartwarming. Both books carry a similar vibe, making them a perfect pair for any family with boys and girls.

If you’re navigating sibling spats or just want to emphasize the value of an apology, these books are a fantastic addition to your child’s bookshelf.

Thank you @netgalley and @familiusbooks for copies of these book, which I have read and reviewed voluntarily.

This was a really sweet book and touched on the nuances and complexities of being a sister in a way that was easy to understand.

This would be an excellent choice for caregivers of sisters to read together, particularly following a disagreement. The illustrations depict white, Asian, and Black representations of sisters, catering to a moderately diverse readership.

I thought this picture book was super cute. The illustrations are lovely (especially the one where the building blocks magically become a castle) and the message is very nice. I have six sisters, and it's good for children's books to acknowledge how normal it is to argue and fight with siblings. I also liked the choice to follow three sets of sisters, which allows for some diversity so that more girls can see themselves reflected in the pages.

I loved this simple yet true book about sisters. Well written!! Perfect for young children to reflect on their own relationships. It opens a discussion about friendship as well.

The book was beautifully written. Overall, the book was well written and I did really enjoy it. Thank you for this advance reading copy!

Although loved the idea of this book, as a former preschool teacher I don't recommend. The pictures are supposed to stick out to children and are pretty basic in sense one wouldn't recall. The rating is in response to the page that says, "sisters sometimes say mean words and sometimes hit." Although yes, this can happen this shouldn't be in a book as not a behavior kids should pickup on thinking it is ok to do. I did like the page that signified using their imaginations together. Overall don't recommend unfortunately because of that one page.

A short board book about the lives of sisters, both good and bad. My two daughters really enjoyed the illustrations which showed the ups and downs of having a sister.

I loved this book for my kids, to encourage their relationship as sisters. This is a great little book, cute and fun, that they loved reading.

Sweet and cute and fun!! This is a fun read for any set of sisters or siblings! Absolutely recommend.

A cute short story about growing up with a sister. I found this 9 pages story cute and reminiscence of my own sibling relationships. It puts value on togetherness and finding friendship in sibling-hood.
