About This Book
Reach for this book when your younger child is struggling with the inherent power imbalance of sibling dynamics, specifically feeling small, bossy, or unfairly treated by an older brother or sister. It provides a safe, humorous space for children to process the frustration of being the 'little one' who always gets the smaller piece of cake or the less exciting role in a game. Through the eyes of Henry, who is tired of being bullied by his older brother Martin, Steven Kellogg explores the vivid and sometimes messy world of a child's inner imagination. The story validates the intense feelings of jealousy and anger that come with sibling rivalry while pivoting toward a healthy, creative outlet for those emotions. It is a perfect choice for children ages 4 to 8 who are learning to navigate family hierarchies and find their own sense of agency.
