K-Gr 2 —Now available in Spanish, the story of a girl who looks after her toddler brother while her mom cares for their new baby sister in a sweet sibling tale. Elizabeti thought taking care of her brother would be just like taking care of her doll. However, the girl finds that completing daily tasks while babysitting is quite challenging. Amid all the frustrations of the day, she connects with her brother and receives an affectionate reward. The classic, painterly feel of the art perfectly matches the warmth of the slice-of-life narrative. This intimate look at a sibling dynamic set against a backdrop of a Tanzanian village is respectful of a child's experience and emotions. The community that surrounds the family is ever-present and add a layer of comfort to the overall story. This would make for a wonderful read-aloud. All the characters are Black. VERDICT A realistic portrayal of familial bonds for general purchase.—Lissette Perez-Hernandez

En Tanzania, una niña aprende lo que es cuidar a sus hermanitos y descubre lo difícil que es ser mamá. Elizabeti tiene una nueva hermanita, así que ahora debe ayudar con el cuidado de Obedi, su hermano menor. Elizabeti sabe lo que hay que hacer. Ella ha cuidado a su "bebé", una muñeca de piedra llamada Eva, desde que Obedi era un bebé. Pero cuidar a un niño de verdad no es tan fácil como cuidar a una muñeca de piedra. Elizabeti trata de barrer el piso, pero Obedi le jala el cabello. Elizabeti quita las piedritas del arroz, pero Obedi lo tira al suelo. Cuando Elizabeti va por agua, Obedi se mueve tanto que el pesado cántaro se le cae de la cabeza. Pobre Elizabeti. Cómo podrá terminar sus quehaceres?
