Page 1
On the left side of the image, Big Sis lies confidently on a high tree branch, resting on her stomach with one arm dangling down and a calm, happy smile on her face. She has long, straight dark grey hair falling past her shoulders, a coral-pink headband with white cat ears, and wears a coral-pink sleeveless A-line dress. Below her, Little Brother hangs from a lower branch with both hands, legs swinging freely, with a wide-eyed, surprised expression as he tries to keep his grip. He wears an open red-orange hooded jacket over a light blue t-shirt, medium blue jeans, and dark navy sneakers with white soles. Green leaves drift through the air around them. The scene is set outdoors on a bright, sunny day with a blue sky, green tree foliage, and a grassy ground visible at the bottom. The right side of the image is plain white background.

Big Sis lay on a branch, looking cool. I shook on a low branch like a fool.

On the right side of the image, Big Sis stands on a large tree branch, smiling confidently as she holds up a toy airplane in one hand, looking up at it against the sky. Little Brother stands at the base of the tree below her, looking up at Big Sis with a happy, admiring expression. The scene is set outdoors on a sunny day, with lush green foliage surrounding the large tree. The left side of the image is plain white background, leaving space for text.

Big Sis stood tall on the wood to make the plane zoom. She said, 'Look at this good plane go boom!'

Page 3
On the left side of the image, Dog lies on the ground with a startled, dazed expression, with a crashed toy airplane broken apart into pieces and scattered red propeller parts around it. A dotted arc line in the sky above suggests the looping flight path the plane took before crashing down. The right side of the image is plain white background.

The plane did a loop, then crashed with a boom! Red bits fell on our pooch, zoom!

Page 4
On the right side of the image, Dog stands in the centre-right, barking with mouth wide open and a determined expression, facing toward a large tree. Big Sis leans against the base of the tree on the far right, looking down at Dog with a confident, unfazed expression and her arms crossed. Little Brother is perched up in the branches of the tree above, peeking down with a worried or uncertain expression. A toy airplane lies on the ground between Dog and the tree. The scene is set outdoors in a sunny suburban yard with green grass, bushes, and a clear blue sky.

The pooch went woof, what a goof! Big Sis stood cool, she is woof-proof!

In the lower-left portion of the image, Big Sis is kneeling on the ground, leaning forward with a focused expression as she digs in the soil with a small garden tool. Little Brother sits beside her on the ground, looking up with a curious, wide-eyed expression. Behind them, Dog is leaping energetically into the air, tugging on a long rope with its mouth. The scene is set outdoors on a bright, sunny day in a yard or garden area with green trees lining the horizon and a light blue sky with stylised swirling clouds above.

'I need wood!' said Big Sis. She dug with her tool. The pooch grabbed a rope, what a fool!

Page 6
On the right side of the image, Big Sis stands confidently, leaning forward with a warm smile as she reaches out to pet Dog on the head. Dog sits happily in front of her, looking content with a wagging tail and its red collar visible. Little Brother stands just behind Big Sis, clutching her arm nervously with a worried, uncertain expression on his face, clearly less comfortable around Dog. The scene is set outdoors on a sunny day along a dirt path with green bushes, a tree branch overhead, and a clear sky with soft clouds. The left side of the image is plain white background.

Big Sis gave the pooch a rub, looking cool. I stood close and shook like a fool.

Page 7
On the left side of the image, Big Sis is tumbling forward onto the ground with a shocked, open-mouthed expression, her arms splayed out as she falls into a patch of dirt and scattered leaves. Little Brother is toppling over her back with a surprised expression, arms flung upward. Dog stands nearby on the right of the group, looking at them with a curious, slightly concerned expression. The outdoor scene is set on a grassy path under a pale blue sky with wispy clouds, with green leaves shaking loose from a nearby tree and drifting through the air. The right side of the image is plain white background.

Big Sis tripped on a root, whoops! Down I went on her back, oops! Dog just stood and took a good look. Did Big Sis cry? No, not in this book!

Page 8
On the right side of the image, Big Sis stands on a dirt path holding a damaged toy airplane up in one hand with a determined expression, examining it closely. Little Brother stands just behind and to her right, looking up at the plane with a worried or curious expression. The scene is set outdoors on a sunny day along a path lined with green trees and bushes, in what resembles a suburban park or neighbourhood trail. The left side of the image is plain white background.

Big Sis took the plane and stood. 'Some glue, some wood, it will be good!'

Page 9
On the left side of the image, Big Sis stands at a kitchen counter with a cheerful, determined expression, stirring the contents of a bowl with a large spoon. Little Brother sits nearby at a small table, watching her with a slightly worried or uncertain expression and a small pout on his face. The scene is set indoors in a cosy kitchen with warm lighting, patterned tiles, and shelves visible in the background. The right side of the image is plain pink background with no detail.

The plane was set, so Big Sis took a spoon to cook. She grinned and said, 'Mum's good soup needs no book!'

Page 10
On the right side of the image, Little Brother peeks over the edge of a kitchen counter, with just his eyes and hands visible, looking up with a concerned, worried expression. He is watching Big Sis, who stands at the counter chopping onions on a cutting board β€” her eyes are teary and her expression looks sad. The scene is set indoors in a bright kitchen with tiled flooring and green curtains visible in the background. The left side of the image is plain white background.

I stood on a stool to look. Big Sis had tears, I shook!

Page 11
On the left side of the image, Little Brother is shown from the chest up with a thoughtful expression, resting a finger on his chin and looking upward as if remembering. Three circular thought bubbles float above and to the left of him, each depicting a memory of Big Sis: in one she is lying confidently on a tree branch, in another she is reaching out to pet Dog with a brave face, and in the third she is tumbling to the ground from her fall with a surprised expression. The background is a green-striped wallpaper pattern, with the right side left as plain open space.

Big Sis never shook at a fall or a spook. What made her cry? I had to look.

Page 12
On the right side of the image, Big Sis stands behind a kitchen counter with a gentle, knowing smile, looking down at a halved onion on the counter. Little Brother leans in from the right, peering closely at the cut onion with a surprised, open-mouthed expression, his face near the counter surface. A whole onion and its sliced half sit on the green countertop, with green-striped wallpaper in the background indicating an indoor kitchen setting. The left side of the image is plain white background.

'Onions!' Big Sis grinned. I fell off my stool. Big Sis never cries, way too cool!
