Once Upon a Baby Brother by Sarah Sullivan

This cute picture book is about a creative young girl who loves telling stories. She crafts tales of all sorts and is the center of attention…until a new baby brother comes into her life.

Wham! No longer is she the star. She still creates great stories, but now she can only share them at school.

She becomes obsessed with impressing the class (which you will notice appears to be made up of kids from two racial backgrounds). She writes a ton of stories featuring her brother as a monster.

Zing! Until her brother is whisked away by her mom to visit grandma. Then her inspiration is gone and her storytelling skills dry up.

She despairs until finally her muse returns, and she learns that having a little brother isn't that bad after all.

Meh. The story seemed to lack depth. I wasn't a fan.
