Overview

Big sisters are the best! Neither rain nor a series of setbacks can put a damper on a young girl’s day spent with her big sister. A bilingual picture book that captures the love between siblings in both Spanish and English.

A young girl is thrilled to spend the day with her big sister, but things don’t go as planned. It’s so hot outside—legs-stick-to-the-seat hot—that her ice cream melts. And then it rains. Their plans must change, and then change again as the library closes just before they arrive. But big sister knows just what to do next—even if it’s nothing besides splashing in puddles and looking at the stars. The day isn’t anything like little sister expected . . . it’s better.

For fans of Oge Mora's Saturday, this picture book about the power of sibling friendship comes from award-winning author Nelly Buchet and Salvadoran illustrator Rachel Katstaller, with the Spanish translation by Pura Belpre honor winner Mariana Llanos (Benita y las criaturas nocturnas).

Una niña está encantada de pasar el día con su hermana mayor, pero las cosas no salen según lo que han planeado. Hace tanto calor afuera (calor tipo se-te-pegan-las-piernas-al-asiento) que se derrite su helado. Y luego llueve. Sus planes deben cambiar y luego volver a cambiar cuando la biblioteca cierra justo antes de su llegada. Pero la hermana mayor sabe exactamente qué hacer, incluso si no es más que chapotear en los charcos y mirar las estrellas. El día no se parece en nada a lo que esperaba la hermana pequeña: es aún mejor.

Para los amantes del libro Saturday de Oge Mora, este libro ilustrado sobre el poder de la amistad entre hermanas es obra de la galardonada autora Nelly Buchet y la ilustradora salvadoreña Rachel Katstaller, con traducción al español de Mariana Llanos, ganadora del Pura Belpré Honor (Benita y las criaturas nocturnas).
