In Patricia MacLachlan’s new book, “You Were the First,” older brothers and sisters start out as only children, and being first — the first to smile, “the first to lay your head on our shoulders to sleep” — is their privilege, even after other babies arrive. In the hands of MacLachlan, the Newbery-winning author of “Sarah, Plain and Tall,” and illustrator Stephanie Graegin (“Water in the Park”), the sweetly detailed text and pictures of a biracial family living somewhere that looks a lot like Brooklyn are a comforting reminder of how special all those “firsts” can be.
