Bookroo's summary

Mia longs for her brother Spencer's attention, but he's always preoccupied. Undeterred, she paints, dances, and explores, finding joy in her own company. With imagination and love, can Mia convince Spencer that life is more fun when shared? Discover how a little sister's creativity might just bridge the gap between them.

From the publisher

All Mia wants is for her big brother, Spencer, to play with her. But he’s always too busy! So Mia paints, and dances, and explores, and keep busy all by herself. But with a little imagination and a lot of love, Mia might just be able to show Spencer that it’s a lot more fun to be busy together.
