Hello, friends! Our book today is Maple & Willow Together by Lori Nichols, the adorable second book in the Maple & Willow series.

Maple and Willow are sisters, and love spending all their time together. They play together, eat together, and even sleep in the same bed if little Willow gets scared or lonely. They even have their own secret language! They especially love playing outside together, in all types of weather, all year long. But even though they love being together, sometimes disagreements can happen, like if big sister Maple gets a little pushy, or Willow loses her temper and stomps on Maple’s favorite toy. Sisters will fight, and sometimes even need to be put into time-outs to cool down. But sisters always make up just like Maple and Willow do, because nobody loves each other like sisters do.

This was a wonderfully sweet follow-up to Maple that celebrates the special relationship that sisters have, especially as children. The art is absolutely adorable, and perfectly captures the quiet, loving moments that siblings can have as they play, imagine, and explore together. The story is great, as it also shows how to positively handle fights between little ones, especially how they can resolve them on their own. The length is great, and JJ and I enjoyed it a lot. A perfect read for any bookworm siblings, and it’s Baby Bookworm approved!
