(3) K-3 Illustrated by Shamar Knight-Justice. Rasheed, a young Black boy, grows up under the loving guidance of his big brother, Anthony, but when Anthony begins to seek independence, Rasheed must adjust -- until the day he becomes a big brother himself. Mixed-media illustrations full of layered textures and patterns invite readers to feel the closeness, joy, and emotional complexity of brotherhood and growing up. With an engaging first-person voice, this heartfelt picture book beautifully honors the beauty and strength of sibling relationships.
