      Dear Reader,

      Who’s always home for a party? Who’s with you on family

       vacations? Who’s with you when your friends are not? Your

       brothers and sisters, that’s who!

      In these pages, you’ll find all kinds of ideas for celebrations and

       activities to do together. And more than that, The Sister Book offers solid advice on how to get through rough stuff with siblings, how to support them through hard times as well as happy ones, and how to share your space. To inspire you, there’s even advice from real girls and stories from real sisters.

      Your siblings are your built-in buddies, sharing the good and

       the not-so-good. The Sister Book will help you make the most of that special bond—and help you make memories that will keep you smiling years from now.

      So why wait? Jump in and get started!

      Your friends at American Girl

      SAFETY NOTES

      Any time you see this hand or when you

       think a project or recipe is too hard to do your-

       self, ask an adult to help you. Be sure an adult

       supervises any cutting or cooking. Also make

       sure you keep small pieces, such as beads and

       rhinestones, put away so that younger siblings

       don’t eat them!

      The ideas in this book are for girls age 8 and

       older. If you’d like to do an activity with a

       younger sibling, always check with an adult first.

      Sister Story

      GABRIELLE & HAYLEY

      IDENTICAL TWINS Gabrielle and Hayley are

       not exactly alike. Even though they were born eight minutes apart, their birthdays are on dif- ferent days—November 10 and November 11!

      Still, these 12-year-olds have a lot in common.

       “We’re good friends,” says Gabrielle (who goes

       by the nickname Gabri), “and we’re both into

       sports”—including cross country, track, and

       basketball. Gabri and Hayley also like to draw,

       and they play on the same volleyball team,

       but Gabri says she’s better at setting and

       Hayley is better at overhand serving.
