Lift

A sweet, evocative slice of imaginative life. Iris the protagonist is a big sister. Ugh, lame. She enjoys pushing elevator buttons. But sometimes her parents let her little baby brother push them as well. As the book gently says: “BETRAYAL!” Iris finds an elevator button in the maintenance man's bucket o' stuff, tapes it to her wall, and uses it to go to space.

This is a sweet, funny, and beautiful portrayal of kidhood, siblinghood, BETRAYAL, and space. I think it would be quite good for a preschooler, especially one with an annoying baby harshing her mellow. Or, you know, just tryna get by as well! (Babyhood is hard!)
