Mia initially enjoys sharing a bedroom with her little brother, Brandon, but changes her mind as toys and clothes and general mess accumulate. She announces she is moving out and goes on a search for another perfect place--the bathroom? the basement? a tent near the bookcase? All of the spots lack something--or someone. Eventually Mia and Brandon together create a space that is perfect for them both.
I really enjoyed this book that touched on an aspect of sibling love/rivalry anyone with a sibling can relate to. The text was the perfect length per page and I enjoyed the style of the illustrations to tell the story. This would be a great pick for any parent to use when helping older kids deal with their younger siblings.
