Ballet Sisters by Jan Ormerod is another book that is loved in my home because one of the characters has the same name as my youngest, Sylvie. Sylvia is the youngest in the book and these simple stories capture the relationship between an older and younger sister. Sylvie's older sister likes to be the boss. If she is the princess, Sylvie must bow. If she is a fairy queen she wants Sylvia to be an elf. Sylvie cries.
In the second story older sister gets to go to dance class. Sylvie is too little, but tries to follow sister's lead. Sister's hair is perfect, Sylvie tries to cut hers so it is perfect. Mom has to fix it. Sylvie cries. Luckily big sisters can also help, and not just be the boss, and Sylvie ends up with braids just like her sister. This book is easy to read for even a young reader and any younger sister will relate to Ballet Sisters.
