When Linda Burden was five years old, her adopted parents came home with a new baby. The baby was not born to Lindas parents; much as they had done with Linda and her brother, the Burden parents had adopted the tiny child. This tiny child was now Lindas little sister, and they named her Alison. They appeared to have a charmed life, but there was nothing charming about it. Linda and Alisons parents were still mourning the deaths of their two biological children. Their father was an alcoholic, and their mother was having an affair. This difficult upbringing drew Linda and Alison together as more than just adopted sisters; they became friendsbest friendswho would survive a painful childhood to become adults on very different life paths. Linda took a high road; Alison, suffering from psychological illness, found herself on a low road. Alisons life devolved into one of alcoholism and anorexia. Linda would become her only hope for salvation. In this true life account of sibling love and devotion, Linda watches her sisters weight drop to sixty-five pounds, andbefore its too lateshe must convince Alison that she is beautiful. Despite their differing DNA, Linda and Alison are linked by love, and it is love they need most of all.

Book Description
For better or for worse, your sister is with you for life. She knows all your deepest, darkest secrets, and finally has gotten to the age where she won't share them with anyone. You're the Best Sister Ever is a collection of bold, sassy illustrations and funny, honest insights into one of the deepest bonds women experience. Some sample truths, from the affectionate to the witty: "You love my friends, but dislike my enemies more than I do.'' "You supply me with a nice second wardrobe.'' "You know what I wear (and what I eat) when I think no one else is around, and you still seem to love me.'' Just hip enough not to be sappy, this book is the perfect gift for that one-of-a-kind sister.

Book Description
“While books on sibling rivalry abound, [Dear Sister] brings freshness to the topic with McGhee's gentle humor and poignant scenarios…Dear indeed.” —Kirkus Reviews “A meaningful look at…siblinghood and all its foibles.” —Publishers Weekly What do you do when you have an incredibly annoying little sister? Write her letters telling her so, of course! From New York Times bestselling author Alison McGhee comes a wickedly funny, illustrated, heartwarming, and searingly honest collection of letters from an older brother to his little sister. Whininess, annoyingness, afraid of the darkness, refusal to eat lima beans, and pulling brother’s hair. These are the criteria on which little sisters are graded. Inspired by the notes Alison McGhee’s own kids would write each other, this heavily illustrated collection of letters and messages from an older brother to his little sister reveal the special love—or, at the very least, tolerance—siblings have for each other.

Book Description
Can Sona be the best big sister ever when she’s not sure she even wants a baby sister or brother? Brimming with warmth and charm, this story set in India will resonate with new older siblings everywhere. Sona Sharma's house is full of three generations of people who joke often and argue sometimes. Relatives come over unannounced, the phone rings frequently, and friends drop by all the time. Then one day Amma tells Sona that she is going to have a baby. Is that good? Sona isn’t so sure. She doesn’t want to share her room or her things with a new baby, not to mention the attention of Amma, Appa, Thatha, and Paatti. And despite Amma's assurance that the sky always has room for new stars, Sona doesn’t feel stretchy or bighearted like the sky. But when she learns there will be a baby-naming ceremony, she’s determined to find the best name for her new brother or sister—one as nice as her own, a Hindi word for “gold.” Perfectly pitched to young readers, this tale of warming up to change is followed by a glossary of words from India to explore in the story.

Each book ends on a warm, loving note with the older child reassuring the baby that "one day you’ll be big like me."
