What would life be like with a younger sibling? . . . Translated from French, Miura’s delightful prose is simple yet earnest, leaving ample space for well-crafted, spare illustrations. . . . Little by little, the sisters conquer that space until they fill the page—literally and metaphorically—as they wildly splash paint all over a blank canvas. . . Young readers anticipating, even hoping, for will delight in all the ways these sisters play with and enjoy each other. Start with imagination, add a sprinkle of mischief, and stir for pure joy!
