Younger brother Sam feels left out of the new games Hannah plays after she gets a baby doll for her birthday. Admirably, the children are able to solve the familiar problem on their own. Russo's gouache illustrations, with their defined edges, strong colors, and expressive faces, convey the siblings' emotions. Her straightforward text presents the dilemma with understanding and realism.
