About this item
Arce y Sauce lo hacen todo juntas. A las dos les encanta jugar fuera de casa durante todo el ao: dar la bienvenida al sol, a la lluvia, a las hojas de otoo y a la nieve. Pero no siempre brilla el sol o aparece el arcoiris, a veces las hermanas mayores se vuelven mandonas, a veces las hermanas pequeas se enfurruan, y es que hasta las mejores amigas necesitan descansar una de la otra de vez en cuando, o al menos hasta que ya no soportan mas el estar separadas. / Maple and Willow do everything together. They love playing outside throughout the whole year, welcoming the sun, rain, leaves, and snow. But its not always sunshine and rainbows, because sometimes big sisters can be bossy and even the best of friends need a break from each other...
