BOOK REVIEW YOU AND ME. SIBLINGS Author: Elisenda Roca From the reader report by: Rodrigo Petronio A beautiful book, simple and very good for cross-cutting themes related to the coexistence between siblings, birth of new siblings, how to deal with differences and possible conflicts. It alternates the voices/talks between the older sister and the little brother who has just arrived. This alternation is often regular, one page for each speech/point of view. Illustrations are very sober and totally match the text’s proposal. Elisenda Roca (Barcelona, 1963) is a journalist and writer. She worked in different radio, television and press media. Together with Carlota Basil she published Vamos ser pais and O que posso comer estando grávida?, books that were very well-accepted by readers. For children she has published Me explica uma história? , and in recent years has published the series Melhora, illustrated by Cristina Losantos, about children’s social behavior. The series has six volumes already and has been translated into English, Korean, Chinese, and other languages. Among her latest published titles are two illustrated books: A pequena Amelia, with illustrations by Paula Bonet, and Você e eu - a história mais bonita do mundo, with illustrations by Guridi.
