Official synopsis Publisher
James loves collecting kites, which he keeps pristine and safe in his bedroom cupboard. His little sister, GG, loves opening cupboard doors and pulling things out … Whenever James has earned enough money from doing small jobs for his neighbors, he buys himself a new kite. He hangs it in his closet with his other kites, where they remain just as James likes them: safe, tidy, just right. That is, until his little sister discovers them. GG has different ideas about kites, and about keeping things safe and tidy. James wants to keep things just right, but he also loves GG. Is it time for him to reconsider what “just right” means to him? Siblings will relate to James as he opens up to new experiences by opening his heart to his sister.
