Book Review: Brothers and Sisters

Book Title:
Brothers and Sisters
Author: Ariel Andrรฉs Almada
Genres: Children, Siblings, Family, Nonfiction, Acceptance, Differences, Picture Book
Series: Family Love 
Publisher: Cuento De Luz
Publisher Date: March 1, 2022 (32 Pages, Hardcover)

Following on from the success of Little One and Son, from the same creative team comes Brothers & Sisters. This lyrical, stunning picture book is a warm-hearted tribute to siblings and their magical bond, with stunning art by award-winning illustrator Sonja Wimmer.


It’s true that sometimes we fight when we want to play with the same toys. But when night falls, we snuggle up together and fall asleep while we read fairy tales to each other. We’re similar in so many ways! And we’re different in others. But one thing is for sure, and that is that we’ll always be there to help each other out. It doesn’t matter if stormy nights or evening shadows come to visit us. As long as we are together, we will get through them. We’ve learned so many things together, and discovered that the day and the night, even though they seem so different, form a part of the same melody.


Brothers and sisters play together, they fight, hug, and make each other laugh and cry. But, above all, they remain united by an invisible bond that accompanies them on the path of life.

Are you looking for a warm-felt book for your child or children that shows the strong bond created between brothers and sisters? Well, this book “Brothers and Sisters” does just that. It shows it through the eyes of a little boy.

Your child can imagine themselves as the little boy with their siblings as Sisters having a bond with their brother and sister or just their sisters if that is what they have. Or just their brothers if that is all she has, or he has.

Parents will enjoy this book as it shows that siblings fight, but there is also that bond of love for every sibling as they get older. The picture is lovely. I enjoyed looking at the pictures and enjoying myself. I was able to see my cousins with their siblings being somewhat like this. I, at this point, did have some step-siblings and still cherish that.

This book is excellent for parents to have in the family home if they have quite a few children in their household. This book may help with what goes on with siblings, or you may have experience with siblings of your own.

I Celebrate My Skin is an excellent book to have on any child bookshelf. This book teaches the lesson of accepting yourself and being comfortable in your skin. It also talks about the different skin tones and how it is okay to be different.

Everyone is different and looks different. But accepting other skin tones is a good thing. There are many different skin tones in the world. This book teaches children about colorism, learning about their skin, and feeling comfortable with it.

The images are well done. They are colorful. Celebrating your skin is essential as it is what God created for you. This book also wants children or a child to celebrate love and being themselves and in their skin. The author does an outstanding job. In a time like today, this book stands needed to teach everyone that being yourself and being in your skin is good. It is an excellent way to learn to accept others who are different from you.

There are some activities in the back of the book to help children with colors and skin tone colors. Can they match their skin tone with the different skin tones in the book? There are quite a few different shades of them. Can you compare your skin to one in the book, and what name of the skin tone do you have. It is an excellent way for parents to help talk to their children or a child about skin tones.
