Every big sister knows the feeling: little brothers get away with EVERYTHING!
Meet Sissy, who's had it up to here with her two-year-old brother Chooch. No matter what chaos he creates in their loving Cherokee family—and trust us, there's a lot—their parents just smile and say he's ""helping."" When Elisi paints a mural? Chooch ""helps."" When Edutsi makes grape dumplings? Chooch ""helps."" When Sissy tries to make her own clay pot? Well, you can guess what happens next.
But when Sissy finally loses her cool and yells ""Hesdi!"" (Quit it!), what unfolds is a tender moment that captures the messy, beautiful reality of sibling love. This Caldecott Medal winner perfectly nails that universal big sibling frustration—and the surprising grace that can follow.
Winner of the Caldecott Medal • Starred reviews from Kirkus, Publishers Weekly, and Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
