Publisher Description
An instant New York Times bestseller!
From New York Times bestselling author Katherine Schwarzenegger Pratt comes a beautiful bedtime read, celebrating the power and comfort of sisterhood. This sweet title is the perfect gift for sisters or anyone with a special bond!
Kat is excited to sleep in her own room—the big girl room—for the very first time. But her younger sister, Tina, is nervous to sleep in their old room without her. So Kat comes up with a plan: she'll give all of her stuffed animals to her younger sister, and every time Tina gets scared, she should hold them close and be reminded of all the wonderful things each animal represents: bravery, creativity, love, and imagination.
But that night, as a storm thunders outside their windows, it turns out that the big girl room can feel a bit lonely. And Kat might be the one who needs the extra support.
With simple, gentle prose, Katherine Schwarzenegger Pratt shares a comforting bedtime story, illuminating the bonds sisters share, and the many ways they are there for one another.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
When big sister Kat moves to a solo "big girl room," younger sibling Tina worries: "I've never slept in our room without you. What if I get scared?" By means of reassurance, Kat generously offers to leave her stuffies with Tina: "They've already helped me. And now they can help you, too." Leo the Lion, Moo Cow, Uni the Unicorn, and others are each called out for a "special power" and featured in gentle narrative spreads that showcase the light-skinned sisters playing together alongside each toy ("Endlessly creative" Ollie the Octopus looks on while the sisters make art). Kat further recommends a catchy chant: "Have no fear,/ with stuffies near./ They'll keep me safe throughout the night," Schwarzenegger Pratt writes. But even as the rhymes offer solace, a thunderstorm tests both girls' mettle and highlights the power of their bond. In pastel hues and soft-edged domestic scenes, Fleming's art echoes the text's tenderness for a celebration of sisterhood. Ages 3–7.
