Brothers and Sisters - (Family Love) by Ariel Andrés Almada (Hardcover)

About the Book

"It's true that sometimes we fight when we want to play with the same toys. But when night falls, we snuggle up together and fall asleep while we read fairy tales to each other. We're similar in so many ways! And we're different in others. But one thing is for sure, and that is that we'll always be there to help each other out. It doesn't matter if stormy nights or evening shadows come to visit us. As long as we are together, we will get through them. We've learned so many things together, and discovered that the day and the night, even though they seem so different, form a part of the same melody."--Provided by publisher.

Review Quotes

"Brothers and Sisters, published by Cuento de Luz, is a precious picture book that evokes the unconditional love that these great companions of life have for each other." --Infantilandia

"Family can be loving, fun, and occasionally difficult. But the strongest families stick together through it all. Brothers and sisters play together, fight over their toys, snuggle up while reading together, and giggle over the same things. They may be as different as day and night or souls that share the same spirit. But no matter what happens, they love each other and try to make each other's days just a little brighter. Brothers and Sisters expresses all the feelings kids have about their siblings. It's a warm and caring look at family relationships that kids will really enjoy." --Bergers Book Reviews
