The perfect picture book to deal with the topic of stepfamilies with delicacy and humour!

EARLY YEARS

The story explores an older half-sister’s feelings after her parents break up and her father has a child with another woman. This little sister is around during the summer and on New Year’s Day but it’s too much. If the “vacation sister” were to disappear forever, that would be a dream come true. Then one day, the vacation sister vanishes. Surprised by the sadness and the guilt, a new wish is made for the vacation sister’s return.

Are you a mix of your Mom and Dad? What if your Dad is a Barbarian who lives in the Forgotten Woods who rides a hippopotamus and your Mom is a princess who grew up in a castle surrounded by gold and diamonds? We’ll follow their children who manage to mix refinement with brute strength in surprising but hilarious ways… but more importantly, we’ll see that sometimes the strangest mix can turn into extraordinary strengths!
