Little Sister Is Not My Name
Summary
It's not easy being nine. It's hard to get respect from your family when you're the youngest and smallest in the house. You know your family loves you, but it drives you crazy because they insist on calling you Little Sister instead of Sassy.
But Sassy sparkles with imagination and style. She'd change the boring blue school uniforms she and her friends have to wear to lovely costumes in shades of strawberry or jade. You'd serve boysenberries at lunch and require marigolds in every classroom. And you help your friends and family in all kinds of situations with the wonderful and mysterious items--from lip gloss to paper clips to superglue-- that are tucked into your marvelous Sassy Sack.
When Sassy's Grammy comes to visit, and her family is trapped in a scary situation, Sassy learns that courage comes in all sizes, that small can be very tall, and being called Little Sister might not be so bad after all.
