Description: We're all different from one another! "Older Sister and Younger Brother" is a picture book by storyteller Lim Jung-ja and illustrator Lee Hyung-jin. It explores gender-role play between an "older sister," who symbolizes femininity, and a "younger brother," who symbolizes masculinity. The conflict between the two siblings, each with their own sense of gender identity, unfolds within a fantastical setting. This picture book gently guides all children—girls and boys alike—toward understanding, accepting, and living harmoniously with one another's differences. A distinctive feature of the book is its richly textured, three-dimensional illustrations created in a collage style. Mom and Dad go to work and don't come home until evening. So when Older Sister comes home from school, she has to take care of her little brother. Little Brother wants to play with blocks, but Older Sister wants to play school instead. Reluctantly, Little Brother ends up playing school with her, because Older Sister said, "If you don't listen, I'll never play with you again." But in the end, Little Brother bursts into tears. Just then, the house begins to shake, the floor starts to ripple, and a tiger suddenly appears... Hardcover edition. ☞ Tip for Parents and Teachers! "Older Sister and Younger Brother" vividly and dynamically captures the inner emotions of children who must play together in a confined space while their parents are away at work.
