Exactly what I needed

Our county has us teaching fiction the majority of black history month but the curriculums offered nothing I could use that both empowered my African American students allowing them to see themselves in the text we were using that also helped us master the target standards- I even went to my school librarian but none of her offerings addressed each of the standards as well as met my need to be entertained as the teacher while I was teaching story elements, oral retelling, identifying where the rhyme is found in a poem and descriptive words. So I bought this book and used it as the center of study for the week. I was able to hit every element of the 4 main standards and my kindergarteners absolutely loved the story, the brilliant engaging illustrations and the captivating story in verse. I really enjoyed reading it and was in love with the illustrations myself. This is one of the best purchases I have made for my classroom this year and I will use it for years to come!

Awesome story, depicting real life! My young kids loved it!!! They were able to decipher the lessons learnt, sift through character emotions, think critically to imagine alternate solutions for Zeze and Soso based on their own sibling experiences. Beautiful imagery featuring kids of color, an important booster for my kids' self-confidence! Kids of all ages and all backgrounds will enjoy this book!!!

This book is so cute and heart-warming. I truly enjoyed the exciting visuals and moral lesson. Zeze and Soso are so cute, and have the typical brother and sister relationship that any sibling can relate to. This book is a wonderful read for all ages, very family friendly and educational.
