The Wildest Brother by Cornelia Funke, illustrated by Kerstin Meyer

From chapters.ca:
Brave as a lion, strong as an elephant, Ben is a fearless young boy. When it comes to protecting his big sister, Anna, nothing can stand in his way! Gallantly he spends his day battling mouldy green ghosts, slime-belching monsters, and all sorts of ferocious beasts. But when the day is over and darkness falls, Ben suddenly doesn't feel quite so brave. Sometimes, he realizes, it's the big sister who does the protecting. Featuring Meyer's witty, whimsical artwork and Funke's deft balance of humour, emotion, and truth, this is the perfect bedtime read for rambunctious brothers and sisters.

Originally in German.
