Bookroo's summary

A young toucan envies her big sister's abilities, feeling overshadowed by what she 'tou-can't' do. But when her sister catches a cold, the little toucan steps up, realizing her own unique strengths. This playful tale of sibling dynamics shows that even the smallest can make a big difference. Will the little sister find her place in the family and prove that love knows no size?

From the publisher

A funny, heartwarming story about one little sister who learns that, big or little, there’s plenty of love to go around. All one little toucan wants is to be big like her sister, and to get to do all the things her big sister can do. Tie her own shoes? She tou-can’t. Make her own breakfast? She tou-can’t! Read her own books? She tou-can’t, tou-can’t, tou-can’t!!! But when her big sister gets a cold and needs some help, the tables are turned, and our little bird sister learns just how helpful she can actually be. In this sweet and playful sister story, it’s the little things that matter the most. Praise for Tou-Can’t Sisterly affection and admiration sweetly serves to strengthen the rapport between siblings. –Kirkus Reviews
