Having a sister who wants to do everything together is a pain! But in the end, big and little sisters always find a way to make up. A fun read-aloud picture book with some Spanish words that's full of humor and heart and perfect for 3-7-year-olds with a younger or older sibling. Claudia is the big sister. Monica is the little sister. Having each other is fun. They do bubblegum peace bubbles, where they each blow a bubble and almost touch them together. But sometimes Monica is just way too sticky-wanting to do everything Claudia does. And Claudia finally loses it when Monica tries to come to her soccer tournament. She tells her little sister that there's a monster that eats little kids. Then, just like siblings do, they work it out and make up. But when those bubblegum peace bubbles go awry, it brings an entirely new definition to the word sticky! Back matter includes an author's note and a Spanish-word glossary. Sticky Hermana releases simultaneously in Spanish as Hermana pegajosa.
