Sona Sharma, Very Best Big Sister
Chitra Soundar, Jen Khatun
Being a big sister to a new baby brings big responsibilities.
Sona Sharma’s house is full of people who joke often and argue sometimes. Relatives come unannounced, the phone rings frequently and friends drop in all the time. Then one day Amma tells Sona she is going to have a baby. Is that good? Sona isn’t sure – she has always enjoyed being an only child – and straight away she has a word with her best friend, Elephant. When Sona learns that there will be a baby naming ceremony, she is determined to find the perfect name for her new brother or sister. Because although she realizes that her life is about to change, and while she’s having some difficulty in coming to terms with having to share everything with the new baby – including Amma and Appa, her grandparents and her home – Sona Sharma wants to be the very best big sister she can be.

I like how Sona thought of the stars because they always make space for new stars. She ended loving her little brother so much. That made me happy

I liked that Sona Sharma shared her stuff with her little sister. She thought of a wonderful name for her little sister.

I really liked this book. It was interesting to learn about the naming ceremony. Exciting to wait to see what the baby was going to be (like my aunty) and lovely that she got to name her sister, like I named my brother.

This book has Tamil words that people can learn like: Amma Appa Akka and a bit more words than that.

This book was about a girl who is going to become a big sister and how she faces challenges of becoming a big sister. I love how every chapter was a part about becoming a big sister instead of just going into it straight away , I would recommend it!

This book brings back my memory about my brother's naming cermony and all the rituals we did.

The best part was when the little sister was born.

Moral is that your family loves everyone equally. I liked the book because of the different language
