For their mom's birthday, three sisters decide that whoever gives her the best present will be Queen of the World. But their fighting makes their mom cry, which makes them feel awful. Their distress unites them long enough to make a Queen of the World crown--for their mother. The illustrations are as effective as the text, which is remarkable for its low-key telling yet powerful emotional impact.
