About This Book
Reach for this book when your child feels like they are constantly living in a sibling's shadow or when 'copying' has become a source of friction in the household. The story follows Angela, who spends years trying to mimic her older sister Bernadette's successful Halloween costumes, only to feel like a second-rate version of her sibling. It is a gentle, realistic exploration of sibling rivalry and the quest for individual identity. Parents will appreciate how it validates the frustration of being the 'younger' one while modeling the joy of discovering one's own creative voice. It is a perfect choice for children aged 4 to 8 who are navigating the delicate balance between looking up to a sibling and wanting to be their own person. The resolution is empowering, focusing on the internal shift from imitation to inspiration.
