Booklist - 07/01/2024 Sometimes it is fine to make a mess, especially if it means you are being creative. Two sisters are having a wonderful time together. Although the kitchen is untidy, they have made a lovely meal. Yes, they have paint on their knees and elbows, but they have produced artistic masterpieces. As they construct musical instruments from recycled materials and pile up furniture and blankets to create a special reading spot, they provide a wealth of ideas for readers to explore. Like most siblings, however, they do not always get along. A broken bracelet causes angry words, and an accidentally dropped platter of food results in less-entertaining messes. The sisters’ love shines through as they work out new solutions in this house that looks like a place where creativity is valued. The illustrations include many details to expand on the spare, rhythmic text, giving the girls plenty of materials and space to explore. As these lively girls invite the reader to take part in their marvelous mess, who knows what they might make next? - Copyright 2024 Booklist.
