When Sister was born, she had toes like grains of rice. She had hair as dark as sesame sweets . . . But she had no name. 

Only a name as passionate and graceful as Fire, honest and stable as Earth, strong and ambitious as Gold, bright and wise as Water, and creative and prosperous as Wood could fit a baby like Sister.

Discover how a young girl and her family find the perfect name in this magical, whimsical and stunning ode to Chinese tradition and sisterly bonds. This sweet tale is one that growing families will treasure.

Charlotte Cheng (Roar-Choo!, Night Market Rescue) and New York Times bestselling illustrator Sophie Diao (I Am Golden, Tiny Troubles) dazzle in this unforgettable collaboration that is: 

  • a perfect baby shower and birthday gift 
  • a wonderful bedtime read 
  • a positive story for big siblings welcoming a new baby to the family 
  • a great pick for fans of Alma and How She Got Her Name and Little Miss, Big Sis
