Finally, the school day ends and Caroline rushes outside to greet her parents, who are having a rather extraordinary day themselves. In their arms they hold Caroline's new baby sister, who has just arrived from far away. Sydra Mallery's debut picture book is a loving celebration of family, adoption, and sisters.
