Big Sisters by Gordon Jensen is a heartwarming and beautifully illustrated picture book that celebrates the unique bond between sisters. Winner of the Independent Book Award in the Novelty & Gift category and the Purple Dragonfly Honorable Mention in multiple categories (including Children’s Non-Fiction, Growing Pains, Picture Book (5 Years and Younger), and Poetry) this charming book offers a tender and thoughtful exploration of sibling relationships from a young child’s perspective.

Jensen captures the joys, challenges, and emotional depth that come with being a little sister, portraying both admiration and frustration with authenticity and warmth. The lyrical prose reads like poetry, making it ideal for reading aloud, while the vibrant illustrations bring each scene to life with color, whimsy, and emotion. Whether it’s moments of shared laughter, sibling squabbles, or quiet comfort, the book reflects experiences that will resonate with children and adults alike.

What makes Big Sisters stand out is its ability to speak to both the love and complexity of sisterhood without oversimplifying it. It acknowledges the growing pains of childhood while reinforcing the importance of empathy, understanding, and connection. This makes it not just a storybook, but also a gentle tool for social-emotional learning.

Perfect for families with multiple children or as a thoughtful gift for new big sisters, Big Sisters is a delightful, meaningful read that celebrates one of life’s most special relationships. It’s a book children will want to return to often; and one parents will enjoy reading with them.
