Raisin is desperately missing her big sister Bunny, but she spends every other week with her mum. Raisin needs to understand that – they’ll be together again when it’s “Dad Week”. But Raisin doesn’t care about that – she wants her “Sister Week” NOW. Bunny is big and kind and gentle and dangerous all in one. They’re supposed to be doing all the fun things you do at a party together – everyone else can go home as far as she’s concerned.
