Emma’s Yucky Brother

Emma’s Yucky Brother

Written by Jean Little

Illustrated by Jennifer Plecas

Ages 4–8 Early reader

Emma expects her newly adopted little brother to be sweet and adoring. Instead, Max prefers her friend and calls her “yucky,” leaving Emma to figure out how to be his big sister.
