For this older sister, it was a no-brainer: Nia is really good at caring for her younger brother, who happens to be quite annoying. Though Nia’s first grade teacher presented the assignment, it was her mother who sowed the seed of genius by encouraging her to expand the nuanced story into a fully developed, how-to book for older siblings charged with the grudge duty of babysitting their younger kindred-folk.

Not only is the young writer an inspiration to aspiring peers—Nia Mya is out here schooling youngins on early childcare in the most responsible way. Her book emphasizes an approach that is love-based. Patience and kindness are stressed throughout its pages. Even though the younger brother annoys his older sister, she maintains a ginger touch.

I could have certainly used this book years ago, when I had to look after my annoying little brother because, like momming, big sistering don’t come with rules. Nia’s book might have very well saved my baby brother from a few painful pinches, fewer Palmolive-laced cocktails, and even fewer visits to meet the boogie man who lived in our bedroom closet. And I may have been spared a few weeks worth of punishment.
