About This Book

The creak of a bedroom door, the tickle of scissors near your ear, the quiet grumble of a little sister who just won’t leave you alone. Brothers and sisters can be tricky—sometimes annoying, sometimes funny, and sometimes a little bit scary. These poems capture all those feelings, making you laugh and think about family in a whole new way.
