Meet Maddie and Mabel, two spunky sisters who navigate their relationship with humor and heart. Maddie is the big sister. Mabel is the little sister. But who is actually in charge? Mabel, who never stops asking questions? Or Maddie, who can be bossy and demanding? Readers will see that being in charge might not be as important as working together.
Friendship between siblings can often be a heart-warming work in progress. Through joyful storytelling and story-sharing, this first book in an early chapter book series exemplifies the best of what these young years can offer us: imagination, joy, play, forgiveness, and family. In a way that’s accessible for new readers and enjoyable for anyone who has also made mistakes and made amends with their own sibling, Maddie and Mabel endears, entertains, and delights.
"Siblings of all stripes will feel reassured and affirmed by this devoted duo’s unbreakable kinship. Especially noteworthy about this quiet, endearing offering is how much its economic prose and dialogue reveal about the girls’ relationship and distinct personalities. Delicate line drawings lend a gentle atmosphere and perfectly suit the proceedings.... A real charmer; kids will eagerly anticipate reading more about these two." — Kirkus Reviews
