In a heartfelt but also comic story, the eldest of three sisters in an immigrant family comes home from school with her first-ever birthday party invitation and much to her chagrin, her mom insists she must call the classmate to ask if she can bring along her annoying “I wanna go too!” sister. It’s hard having her sister with her at the party, and even worse when they get home. I Iove the sibling rivalry, depicted so perfectly here, and the sibling love and family solidarity that goes with it.

From Naomi's list on separation and belonging picture books.
