Bookroo's summary

Rasheed thinks his big brother Anthony is the best: Anthony keeps him safe in storms, teaches him about worms, mud pies and puddles, and shows him how to button a shirt and ride a bike. But as Rasheed gets older, Anthony also needs time with his own friends, and being left out stings. A warm story about brothers, growing up and a love that stays even when a sibling needs some space.

From the publisher

A touching and joyful celebration of siblinghood, by New York Times bestselling author Derrick Barnes Rasheed has the best big brother in the world! Anthony has been his hero from day one, making him feel safe during storms and included in all kinds of fun activities. Thanks to Anthony, Rasheed knows all about worms, mud pies, puddles, and how to fly on a swing. And now that Rasheed is getting a little older, Anthony is teaching him how to do big-boy things, like button his own shirt, and ride a bike. And most importantly, that there will be times when Anthony needs his own space and time with his buddies. At first Rasheed feels crushed not to be included full-time with his brother, but fortunately, Anthony reassures him that even when they're not together he still loves Rasheed and nothing will ever change that. And when Momma and Daddy share the big news that soon both of them will be big brothers, Rasheed knows--thanks to Anthony--just what kind of big brother he wants to be.
