In celebrated YA author April Genevieve Tucholke s debut picture book, sisters Beatrice and Roo learn to accept each other s differences in this heartwarming, slightly spooky story with art by award-winning illustrator Khoa Le.
Beatrice likes the dark. She likes black clothes, graveyard picnics, and a sky full of stars. Her sister, Roo, likes the light. She likes bright clothes, picking strawberries, and hot, sunny days. Beatrice and Roo are nothing alike and don t understand each other. Can Beatrice help Roo love the dark as much as she does? Can Roo help Beatrice love the light? Or are they simply too different to get along? With lushly detailed artwork, award-winning illustrator Khoa Le brings to vivid life acclaimed author April Tucholke s heartwarming, slightly spooky tale about two very different sisters who learn to celebrate their individuality, understanding that love runs deeper than their differences.
