About BC Books Online
BC Books Online was created for anyone interested in BC-published books, and with librarians especially in mind. We'd like to make it easy for library staff to learn about books from BC publishers - both new releases and backlist titles - so you can inform your patrons and keep your collections up to date.
Our site features print books and ebooks - both new releases and backlist titles - all of which are available to order through regular trade channels. Browse our subject categories to find books of interest or create and export lists by category to cross-reference with your library's current collection.
A quick tip: When reviewing the "Browse by Category" listings, please note that these are based on standardized BISAC Subject Codes supplied by the books' publishers. You will find additional selections, grouped by theme or region, in our "BC Reading Lists."

Description
Zizi and Tish were sisters. They had long, chocolate-colored ponytails and cinnamon freckles across their noses. Zizi was the small one. She like holding hands and hiding in tiny, just-her-size places. Tish was the tall one. She knew how to buy things in stores and ride a two-wheeler. Zizi loves spending time at the cottage with her big sister, until a girl from across the lake lures Tish away, leaving Zizi to entertain herself and ridiculing her when she is afraid of the deep water. Zizi tries to get back at the two of them, but her gestures go unnoticed until a summer storm brings Zizi and Tish together again.
