About The Biggest Little Brother
Aminata's debut children's book, The Biggest Little Brother, began as a story loosely based on her own experiences as a first-generation Sierra Leonean-American and blossomed into a children's book reflecting the changing landscape of American families. From helping his mother make West African doughnuts to fixing his sister’s toys, Sowa is always helping his mom, dad, and little sister. That is what a big brother does. But when his big brother Hindo who has been living in Sierra Leone moves to the United States, Sowa quickly realizes he is not the big brother anymore, and he is not the one who the family goes to for help anymore. Being a sibling is tough but navigating family change can be tougher. How does young Sowa manage this shift? The Biggest Little Brother is a beautiful story that explores the complexities of sibling relationships and immigration.
