What Are Sisters For?

This charming picture book from author-illustrator Anya
Glazer follows two sisters in a celebration—and adorable demonstration—of how
sisterhood and encouraged question asking can lead to the most surprising
journeys. A perfect, hilarious read for families with soon-to-be new siblings!

Bea is curious about EVERYTHING.

Does peanut butter count as a vegetable?

Lucky for her, big sister Ada always has an answer ready!
(Toasters work by magic.)

But as Bea’s questions get harder, Ada takes to inventing
some answers. And when one of her responses takes them into a forest full of
unknowns…the way through becomes much less clear. How will Ada and Bea find
their way back home?
