Brother and Sister tales

Hansel and Gretel and Little Brother and Little Sister have always been two of my favorite fairy tales because they tell of siblings working together and succeeding. Consequently, I am happy Barefoot Books has published this new collection of brother and sister tales gathered from around the world. These stories make great bedtime reading to or for siblings. The illustrations are also beautiful and enhance the stories by showing native settings. This would make a great gift to some of your favorite siblings or young children who are just learning how to work together. The strengths and weaknesses of each sibling complement the other sibling, ensuring the success they might not accomplish by themselves. Families are universal and this collection proves it.
