Rosie and Buttercup by Chieri Uegaki, illustrated by Stéphane Jorisch [in Bloomsbury Review]
Rosie has a near-perfect life, even an adorable little sister. But as Buttercup gets older, Rosie sometimes finds it challenging to get along with her. One day she takes her sister to their neighbor, offering her to him “for free.” Back in her now-quiet home, Rosie finds life without Buttercup isn’t quite as fun as she thought it would be, and maybe sharing with her sister is better than no sister at all.
