ScrunchSnuggle: A Sister's Hug, a Sister's Love by Jessie Kravette is a tale of two sisters. A young girl named Jess narrates the story of how she and her big sister, Gracie, used to "scrunchsnuggle" on the floor and read Sunday comics. While Jess would look at the pictures, Gracie would read the stories out loud for Jess. Whether it was playing with dolls or playing dress-up, the sisters had fun together. They also used to sneak into their neighbor's backyard to pick blackberries. Gracie would look after her sister every time they did something together. But when it was time for bed at night, Gracie was scared of the shadows she saw in their room. It was Jess who would reassure her and offer love and support with her scrunchsnuggles.
