Birgitta Sif’s beautifully illustrated story of two little mice is as touching and realistic a depiction of sibling relationships as you are likely to find. It follows Swish through her day, from the purple shades of early morning through rosy sunshine and back to the deep hues of night. The day is marked more by sounds than colour however, and Swish’s little sister Squeak is a noisy presence, stomping down the stairs for breakfast, singing in the library.
For all her confidence though, Squeak needs her sister’s reassurance at nightime and the two go to sleep holding hands. Perfectly told, full of scenes familiar to the very young, this creates a real sense of sisterly love. ~ Andrea Reece
