"Maggie Edkins Willis's Smaller Sister is a debut middle grade graphic novel about body image, confidence, and the everlasting bond of sisterhood. Lucy's always looked up to her big sister, Olivia, even though the two are polar opposites. But then, Lucy notices Olivia start to change. She doesn't want to play with Lucy anymore, she's unhappy with the way she looks, and she's refusing to eat her dinner. Finally, Lucy discovers that her sister is not just growing up: Olivia is struggling with an eating disorder. While her family is focused on her sister's recovery, Lucy is left alone to navigate school and friendships. And just like her big sister, she begins to shrink. But with time, work, and a dose of self-love, both sisters begin to heal and let themselves grow. Soon enough, Olivia and Lucy find their way back to each other--because sisters are the one friend you can never ditch."--Provided by publisher.… (més)

Gr 4–7—This stirring debut graphic novel explores the relationship between sisters Lucy and Olivia, who are only 20
months apart and inseparable—until Lucy begins struggling with body dysmorphia. With pitch-perfect prose and
clear digital illustrations, this honest and thoughtful depiction of anorexia and sisterly bonds will resonate with
tweens.

Really strong story focusing on body dysmorphia and eating disorders, from the point of view of a younger sibling watching her older sister struggle. Particularly good at modeling how to tell if your friends are good for you or are cutting you down. Semi-autobiographical. ( )

This book belongs on shelves.

Because not only is anorexia a hidden (and not so hidden) demon for many, "Smaller Sister" hits on the fact that it can be genetic. That there is so much of a mental component to the disease. And that you can have many different relationships with food that are just as bad.

Some will have an issue that this book addresses things like missed periods. Guess what? It happens! Some will have issue with seeing underwear (no "lines" or boobs were shown). Guess what? Food disorders change your body.

Smaller Sister tackles friendship (much like Shannon Hale's books or even 'Growing Pangs" which I just read.) The reminder that if you have to change to have friends like you they aren't good friends is SO important, especially in this social media age! ( )

So, I give Smaller Sister a 4, at least. Eating disorders aren’t the main focus. Both sisters struggle when they are 12 ☹️because girls that age are horrible to each other. The family moves a couple of times so changing schools was hard. The message is to be yourself, like yourself, and you will find your people and your true self. ( )
