      An older sister learns to share the limelight. Iris loves dazzling her family members with her fancy outfits, singing prowess, and dancing talents, but her little brother wants some attention, too. Iris worries that the family doesn't have room for two stars, and her little brother's assertiveness plunges her into gloom ("It felt likehe was taking the shine right out ofher"). But she gives herself a pep talk and returns to the stage, ready to sing and dance, only to have her little brother join her, wearing sunglasses and playing a bright pink electric guitar. Their dual performance delights their parents and grandmother, and Iris starts to see her brother as a collaborator instead of a competitor: They "shined brighter together." The palette is largely made up of shades of pink, yellow, and blue; fans of Jane O'Connor and Robin Preiss Glasser's Fancy Nancy series or David Roberts' illustrations are likely to enjoy this tale. Here, the adults serve only as audience members, not referees. Iris and her brother sort things out independently, and although the narrative is from the titular character's point of view, Iris' brother's personality and perseverance come through in the artwork. The family is light-skinned. A light and playful sibling story.(Picture book. 4-8)
