About the Author

PAULA METCALF is a successful author and illustrator; she decided on her career when she was 16, and graduated with a First Class Honours degree and an MA in children's illustration. She was the first Illustrator-in-Residence at the Roald Dahl Museum and Story Centre in Buckinghamshire and is a visiting lecturer at Anglia Ruskin University, where she teaches Children's Book Illustration. This book is very close to Paula's heart; she is the middle sister, so knows all too well about being the younger as well as the older one.

Newcomer SUZANNE BARTON is a recent graduate of the Cambridge School of Art. Married with two children, she's been developing this as-yet unseen style that proves less really is more.

Reviews

"The illustrations in this attractively presented book are simple but engaging and totally reinforce the assertion that ‘There is nothing as irresistible as a little sister!’ Suzanne Barton’s style features a light touch yet is beautifully detailed too and her ability to bring such character to the children in this book with the slightest pen mark is outstanding. Paula Metcalf’s text is funny, well observed and great to read aloud.  Certainly, this guide is a winner in our household where it fits our little sister to a T."
