Maia and her monster best friend are both becoming big sisters, but they want things to stay "just the way they are." Even though, as expected, their new little sisters are disruptive, the friends find joy in caring for each other's baby sis. Complemented by playful acrylic and colored-pencil scenes, this story tenderly addresses the mixed emotions brought on by family change.
