what being a big sister is all about, and discovers the real meaning
of family.

with his family.
Book Description From the Front Cover Flap
More than anything else in the world, Antonia wants a Mei Mei,
little sister, to call her own. But when the big day finally arrives

can't talk. She just cries and steals attention!
