The sweet sisters are the boss 👧🏼👧🏽
(To read aloud from 4 and read independently from 7)
In 'The Sweet Sisters are the Boss', written by Hanneke de Zoete, the Sweet Sisters Saar and Janna are going to protest. Because adults always say no, and they boss children around. But why? Children can also be the boss! So the Sweet Sisters organize the best day of the year: yes-day, on which children are the boss for one day. They decide everything. And so only fun things happen on yes-day: from a cookie breakfast to stamping in puddles, dyeing your hair pink and eating out in your pyjamas. A wonderful book to read to children aged 4 and up or for children aged 7 and up who want to read for themselves.
