The Story

A bossy big sister bunny plans an angel surprise cake with raspberry-fluff icing for Grandma's birthday, but her little brother Max keeps trying to add his own messy touches instead.

Why It's Special

For the little sibling who always wants a turn but keeps getting waved off by a big brother or sister running the show, Max's kitchen standoff with Ruby will feel very familiar.

  • Big idea: Little siblings have good ideas too — sharing the kitchen means sharing the credit.
  • Vibes: Cozy, funny, and full of sibling squabble energy, with the warmth of a family birthday underneath.

Perfect For Kids Who

  • enjoy stories about siblings who bicker but bake together
  • are working on taking turns and being heard
  • like to talk through baking and cooking scenes
  • respond well to a satisfying family celebration ending
