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.
