4 ⭐James loves kites. James has a little sister Gigi. Her brother‘s kites are not just given to him. He works hard to buy them himself. And when he‘s worried that Gigi might harm one, he works even harder to buy her kind of her own. They even eventually fly it. This book was endearing. It was bright. It was beautiful and full of heart. The illustrations are an older style. Reminds me very much of Madeleine. I loved it from beginning to end.
