A brown-skinned preschooler imagines the adventures she and her older brother will have when he gets home from school. All the fun things she describes the two of them will do together are humorously exaggerated by her vivid imagination: attending their own comic book convention (sitting in a tree reading comic books), climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro (scaling a playground slide), building the biggest castle in the neighborhood (constructed of empty cardboard boxes). The spirited little sister keeps herself busy with tall tales while anticipating her brother's return. When he finally does return, it's clear that they both enjoy playing together, a refreshing change from the usual sibling conflict stories. There's a pitch-perfect interplay between text and pictures, with the concise text representing her wild imaginings and the appealing cartoon illustrations showing reality. (Ages 3-7)

★ "[An] endearing tribute to sibling interactions and affection."--Kirkus, STARRED review
From the New York Times best-selling illustrator of Goodnight, Goodnight Construction Site and Stick and Stone comes a sweetly humorous celebration of the love between siblings and the power of imagination.

In this warm, funny story from beloved creator Tom Lichtenheld, a younger sister impatiently awaits her older brother's return from school. As his bus draws closer, she imagines all the fantastical adventures that await them. From climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro in the playground to building a cardboard castle, every adventure, large or small, is more fun . . . when my brother gets home.

Siblings of all sorts will cherish this imaginative reminder that the greatest thrill of all is simply being with the people we love.
