Whose Brother or Sister?
Whose Brother or Sister?
Stina Wirsén, illustrated by Stina WirsénStina Wirséns Who? characters have grown up and have children of their own.
Now it is time to meet a new generation of small friends. Ceddy and Piggly are brother and sister and now a new family member has arrived. How very exciting!
The baby has finally arrived. Ceddy and Piggly have waited and longed for this moment. But the new baby is tiny and boring! And when it finally grows a bit and wants to play, it ONLY wants to play with Ceddy and Piggly can’t join in at all …
Sibling jealousy hurts. Stina Wirsén can, as no other, describe an everyday situation with drama and humour. Both big and small will recognize the injustice of what it’s like to love and want to join in but not being acknowledged as one wishes to be by a new family member.
Sold in over a million copies in Sweden alone, Stina Wirsén’s Who series deals with important and difficult topics with impressive simplicity and commitment for both young and old. With sensitivity and a genuine interest for the child’s perspective, Wirsén is masterful at finding the conflict and drama in everyday situations and guiding both the child and parent through all of life’s big emotions.
The stories are seemingly straight-forward, but never one to shy away from the complexity of life, the Who series tackles questions of grief, frustration, jealousy, loneliness, excitement, and joy, always written with warmth and humour. A Swedish Modern Family for children, the family constellations are a reflection of our time, with single mothers and fathers, stepparents, nuclear families and families of two moms or dads. Wirsén is known and beloved for writing the world as it is, rather than how we wish it would be, perfectly suited for the age group without sugar-coating reality.
