"A paean to sisterhood captures the girls at, mostly, their sweetest in
bright, crisp full-color photographs. What is plain is the happiness
coming off the pages ... [as well as] scenes that delight, moments of pure
companionship to make other siblings smile".
Kirkus Reviews 12/15/1999
"The spunk of four multiracial pairs of siblings shines through this photographic celebration of sisterhood. The playful spontaneity of the photos is extended by the book production".
Publishers Weekly 2/14/2000
"It is the pictures that make this book enchanting. And while the short couplets that accompany each photo are often wry and sweet, it is the pictures that make the book. Anyone who has ever had a sister will smile after seeing this book".
Bay City Times 3/25/2000
"Sisters frolic in the snow together, pick pumpkins in a pumpkin patch, play hide and seek, laugh and cry together. The bond they share is undeniable. The result is an exuberant collection that celebrates childhood, sisterly love and yes, even sibling rivalry".
