Salma is going to be a big sister! She's determined to be the best sister ever, so she sets out to write the ultimate guidebook to siblinghood.

Starred Review

Fans of the Salma series will be delighted with this second installment . . . The illustrations add texture, cultural details provide depth, and a universal message of acceptance rounds everything out beautifully.
