Can Sona be the best big sister ever when she's not sure she even wants a baby sister or brother? Brimming with warmth and charm, this story set in India will resonate with new older siblings everywhere.
Sona Sharma's house is full of three generations of people who joke often and argue sometimes. Relatives come over unannounced, the phone rings frequently, and friends drop by all the time. Then one day Amma tells Sona that she is going to have a baby. Is that good? Sona isn't so sure. She doesn't want to share her room or her things with a new baby, not to mention the attention of Amma, Appa, Thatha, and Paatti. And despite Amma's assurance that the sky always has room for new stars, Sona doesn't feel stretchy or bighearted like the sky. But when she learns there will be a baby-naming ceremony, she's determined to find the best name for her new brother or sisterâ??one as nice as her own, a Hindi word for "gold." Perfectly pitched to young readers, this tale of warming up to change is followed by a glossary of words from India to explore in the story.… (mehr)

Gr 1–3—Sona's mom is having a baby, and Sona wonders if she'll be the very best big sister. She struggles with the
idea of having a new younger sibling and sharing her belongings and her family's love. This chapter book offers a
look at Hindu baby-welcoming ceremonies and customs, while accurately capturing a new older sibling's range of
emotions.

I received a free copy of Sona Sharma Very Best Big Sisiter by Chitra Soundar in exchange for an honest review.
This is a charming little chapter book about a little girl transitioning from being the baby in the family to a big sister. The worries and excitements that our main character, Sona, faces are universal and very relatable. As Sona learns to grapple with her new reality, the readers learn a little bit about Hinduism and a few Tamil words.
The illustrations by Jen Khatun are lovely and add to the cultural learning journey for those readers new to Indian traditions.
This book is refreshing because there are few books for children with the setting outside of USA, Canada, or England. ( )

This is a sweet book that gives us a glimpse into the traditions surrounding the arrival of a new baby in India while dealing with the common theme of an only sibling's jealousy and uncertainty. However, even though the characters/family members are introduced in the beginning, I got a little lost, so I imagine a child reading this might also. In addition, it's an early chapter book, but I couldn't pronounce some of the Indian names and phrases, so I see that as problematic for an early reader, too. Still, a child with Indian heritage may have someone at home to help, so I'll be adding a copy to our school library. ( )

I received this book for free from Early Reviewers. This was such a cute book! I loved all the characters even the grumpy President (aka her grandmother). Lots of interesting facts about India and the different ceremonies they have for a new baby.

Enjoy! ( )
