Cute. Reminds me a bit of [b:How to Be a Baby by Me the Big Sister|868899|How to Be a Baby . . . by Me, the Big Sister|Sally Lloyd-Jones|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1320401693s/868899.jpg|854285] in that it is a child explaining how things work.

What a fabulous way to introduce the basics of government to younger children! After reading this you could have kids think of their own countries and laws. Also good for having kids make inferences - ask them why the girl wants to create her own country in the first place.

Great child point of view but could be used in a government class as well.

Anyone that has a younger sibling can relate to this picture book. It was an easy read with enjoyable illustrations. It would work perfectly in a class where they are developing their own countries. The book had clear visuals of how to make your own flag, currency and law.

I could share this with students to help them know that it's okay to need a break, need some space, and to do your own thing. It's also okay to come back together and be friends (or siblings) again!
