I Love My Big Sister: A Big Sister Learns to Understand Her Little Brother (Transition to Big Sister) by Serene Chia is a short children’s picture book. Meet the little brother who is learning to understand his feelings and help his big sister understand them, too. Written from his perspective, we learn how he and his sister play together, how their activities help them connect with one another, and how he learns from his older sibling. Peppered with plenty of useful advice and tips, this story is a unique look at how kids grow up together and learn to be kind and enjoy life.

I Love My Big Sister by Serene Chia is the sequel to I Love My Little Brother and is wonderfully illustrated by Rita Nelson. This is a cute book filled with all the emotions that young children feel, and it strongly emphasizes how important family and siblings are, especially when we are growing up and learning. This story is typical of probably every young family, and it is almost like a “day in the life of” story. The illustrations bring the story to life as it teaches children that families stick together, learn together, and love one another, no matter how hard it may be at times. It would be so nice if all families could share this kind of love. I did wonder if the book was based on the author’s children. If so, that makes it even more real and a lovely personal gift to give to any child.
