Simple and sweet story of two sisters on a rainy day.

A big sister teachers her little sister that everything about Saturday is awesome, even when it's pouring rain. This is a really charming and sometimes funny early reader graphic-novel

It's worth noting that this author is international and has multiple books published in nine other countries like Brazil and the Czech Republic.

Quite cute, and well done comic book with not so many words. I suspect the tenderness of the story will appeal more to the parents of the readers than the readers themselves.

This was very cute, with some real shades of Bluey happening. (Or maybe I've just been binge-watching that and seeing it everywhere. We'll never know!)

It is a book for beginning readers, who I'm sure will appreciate the graphic novel-esque layout and learning about timing, what with silent panels and so on. Very cute.

A really sweet beginning graphic novel. It has a nice message about getting out there and making the best of things but in a simple way that an early reader can enjoy.

A masterful cartoonist wrote this fun little book. I almost wish it wasn't branded as a "learning to read" title because if you weren't told that, you would never have guessed it.

I really liked the illustrations in this sibling story. While I understand it is intended for a younger audience as an introduction to graphic novels, the story itself, just did not do much for me.
