The Selfish Sister by David Sedaris and Bob Staake. PICTURE BOOK. Toon Books (Astra), MARCH 2026. $19. 9781662665752
BUYING ADVISORY: NOT RECOMMENDED
The family finds it impossible to deal with the sister of the family, who claims absolutely everything is hers.
The payoff or lesson is so late in the book, it might as well not be there. I also don’t like the rhyming text - reading it out loud is too sing-songy. I don’t mind the two LGBT references, but they feel forced, like they are there to make a point.
