“This fun story of a little sister “sticking” too much to her older sister will be ­relatable and fun for siblings to read ­together. The Spanish edition of the simultaneous Sticky Hermana follows Brazilian Cuban American sisters who spend a lot of time together…This Spanish-­language picture book is a fun and humorous demonstration of the ­realities of sisterhood and a first ­purchase for all libraries.”

Hermana Pegajosa (Sticky Hermana)

Written by Ana Siqueira and Carlos E. Calvo (Translator)
Illustrated by Olivia de Castro
Published by Charlesbridge

Claudia es la hermana mayor. Mónica es la hermana menor. Tenerse la una a la otra es divertido. Hacen burbujas de chicle donde cada una sopla una burbuja y casi las juntan en forma de signo de paz.

Pero, a veces, Mónica es demasiado pegajosa—queriendo hacer todo lo que Claudia hace. Y Claudia finalmente pierde la paciencia cuando Mónica trata de ir a su torneo de fútbol. Ella le dice a su hermana menor que hay un monstruo que se come a los niños pequeños. Luego, como hacen los hermanos, resuelven sus problemas y se reconcilian.

Pero cuando las burbujas de chicle salen mal, ¡le dan un significado nuevo a la palabra “pegajosa”!

Look for the English version, Sticky Hermana.
