Bookroo's summary

Nicholas idolizes his older brother, James, who can do everything from reading to riding the school bus. But James never naps, because big brothers don't. As Nicholas dreams of growing up, a shared secret between the brothers hints at a special day approaching. What could this secret mean for Nicholas, and will it change how he sees his brother forever?

From the publisher

Nicholas looks up to his big brother, James. James does all kinds of things that only older brothers can do–like write his name, read books, cross the street, and ride the school bus. But there’s one thing James doesn’t do: take a nap. Because big brothers don’t take naps. James assures Nicholas that someday he’ll be able to do all the things James does. And when the brothers begin to share a very special secret, it looks like that special day may be approaching very soon….
