Raina Telgemeier’s #1 New York Times bestselling, Eisner Award-winning companion to Smile! Raina can't wait to be a big sister. But once Amara is born, things aren't quite how she expected them to be. Amara is cute, but she's also a cranky, grouchy baby, and mostly prefers to play by herself. Their relationship doesn't improve much over the years, but when a baby brother enters the picture and later, something doesn't seem right between their parents, they realize they must figure out how to get along. They are sisters, after all. Raina uses her signature humor and charm in both present-day narrative and perfectly placed flashbacks to tell the story of her relationship with her sister, which unfolds during the course of a road trip from their home in San Francisco to a family reunion in Colorado.

a really good graphic novel about the tale of two sisters and their whole family of course... It's cool that the author showed her real-life history!!!
A graphic novel that captures that love-hate relationship between sisters that happens from the very beginning. It's a memoir for our young students that interweaves themes all children face—sibling rivalry, parent conflict, parent-child conflict—in a way that is reassuring yet genuine.
