Thanks to interactions between siblings, children develop characteristics such as empathy, companionship, and solidarity. It's possible to learn from our siblings and find solutions to our problems with their help. But the best part is having someone to share with. The Whole Dollar demonstrates this through a tender story of two brothers. They share a room and games, and always look out for each other. One day, the older brother manages to earn a dollar for his efforts and with it, he makes a show of affection to his younger brother. Lori Croy tells us a story based on a true anecdote, and at the end of the book, photos of the real brothers show that their bond remains.

During childhood, siblings teach each other skills to resolve conflicts with friends or in other situations. That's why you should be grateful if you live with a brother or sister. The Whole Dollar is a beautiful story that every child should read. The relationship between the brothers is inspiring and you see how it has overcome the obstacles of time. For this reason, I recommend the book because, being based on a real event, it shows that a true sibling bond is possible. Lori Croy gives us a great example to follow. Having siblings can be one of the best experiences in life because it forms a relationship of love and friendship. Being together as a family means shared laughter and games. Having siblings gives us companionship in the face of life's challenges and support in difficult times.
