Frozen has with great ease become my favourite Disney movie, and I've been watching these films for over 20 years. Constructed almost entirely like a stage-play, it follows a fantastically lovely story about the redemptive, healing nature of true love.
One of the questions people often ask about the film is "What did Anna and Elsa do for thirteen years?" Did Elsa really stay locked up in her room for more than a decade just causing ice-damage her to her wallpaper? Why didn't Anna do anything else with her time?
A Sister More Like Me gives some answers to those questions with its decent rhyming narrative and its utterly gorgeous artwork.
To start, what I love about this book is that it avoids a simple retelling of the film. Children's books based on movies tend to be bare-bone summaries of the storyline and they offer very little, giving no new experience or adding nothing to an existing pool of information. A Sister More Like Me touches on the story of Frozen -- in fact, it's recommended that you see the film before reading this book, either to yourself or to an audience -- but it tells its own story as well.
It follows Anna and Elsa through thirteen years of their life and what they did in their time together, apart and together again. Anna went horseback riding for fun. Elsa stayed in and read books and gained knowledge. The book looks at aspects of both their hobbies, interests and personalities. Anna is the sort to wake up with her room looking like her cupboard exploded. Elsa would meticulously make sure everything was in its right place. The poetry follows their musings about what each sister likes and what they wish the other would be like.
