Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Mommy Says I Have a Sister
Stephany Resendes · 2020
72/100
👍 Worth It
The sister-focused companion to the brother volume carries all the same strengths: authentic authorial grief, a gentle question-inviting structure, and an age-appropriate format for a topic most picture books avoid entirely. It earns its place on the same shelf as the companion and serves a real need. Families whose loss involved a brother rather than a sister will find the sibling-specific framing less directly useful.
