Book Cover for My Sister is a Bother

My Sister is a Bother is a 32-page hardcover picture book for kids and families who want light Vietnamese exposure during English storytime. It follows a brother and sister through everyday play and big sibling emotions.

The text is mainly English, with selected Vietnamese translations sprinkled in, so you can point to a word or short line and try it out while reading. It works best as a read-aloud where an adult pauses to say the Vietnamese and talk about what it means. You can see the book details on the product page.

This is great if your goal is low-pressure bilingual routines and culture connection at home. It falls short if you want a true side-by-side bilingual book, lots of Vietnamese sentences, audio, or structured language lessons. The site also does not label a specific dialect, so it is better for general exposure than dialect-focused learning. If you want background on the author and project, start at embebooks Our Story.
