Big Sister, Middle Sister, Little Sister Too! Arriah M Clark

Big Sister, Middle Sister, Little Sister Too! is a poetic story told in rhythm and rhyme about a day in the lives of three sisters. From home to school and home again, these sisters interact with friends, family, and their community in ways that say "Sawubona. I see, hear, and value you. We're in this thing together".

The book is filled with amazing artwork, affirmations, and messages that encourage children to see honoring themselves and others as a natural way to live. The call and response format of this story-- which has its roots in African-American culture--conjures up a desire to dance, sing, and create together!

Evolutionary change is happening all around us as we turn much of what was oddly considered normal on its ear. So while we're looking sideways at injustice as a lifestyle (giving it the side-eye and twisty lips), let's embrace "different", be imaginative and toy with the notion of newness in another area. How about turning the experience of reading a book around? Literally. Why not?

With Big Sister, Middle Sister, Little Sister Too!, we bring you something different. It's a lapbook--a book that opens like a laptop. Try it out then go to my website to let us know what you think. Now, grab yourselves a copy, tap into your inner child, and reclaim your joy as you and your babies bop to the beat of this beautiful book!
