"Sharing isn't always caring, but affection and scheming go hand in hand in this sweetly hilarious tale."
--Kirkus Reviews, 'Best Books of the Year'
"In a family of five siblings, this book's narrator--the second-oldest--describes how 'we can split anything' ... Kim employs pencil and watercolor textures in sweetly amusing spreads that show how a wealth of items are allotted, in this moving work about divisions and connections."
--Publishers Weekly, starred review
