Can a pair of sisters be too generous with each other?

Only if their mother doesn't say a word. Author Joe Hayes and artist Esau Andrade team up to deliver a knockout picture book about siblings. Two sisters secretly try to outdo each other with generosity. Each new gift from one sister to the other--a secret to everybody but their mother--will have readers crying out, "Don't say a word, Mama!" Until, of course, she does.

?Pueden un par de hermanas ser demasiado generosas entre ellas?

El autor Joe Hayes y el artista Esau Andrade se unen para entregar un libro ilustrado sobre hermanos. Dos hermanas intentan superarse en secreto con generosidad. Cada nuevo regalo de una hermana a otra--un secreto para todos menos para su madre: los lectores gritaran: "!No digas una palabra, mama!" Hasta que, por supuesto, ella lo hace.
