"Gopal captures the entire arc of a “sister day” right down to the snug nighttime rituals. The text pops and the digital illustrations use texture and color to keep up with the girls’ energy as they cycle through childhood’s myriad emotions... A celebration of sisterhood, of play, and problem-solving, all at once. A perfect purchase." —School Library Journal
"The colorful, cheery illustrations are full of playful moments that show the children using their imaginations...An ode to sisterly love and creative play." —Kirkus
