Create a free preview $29 PDF · $49 hardcover · free preview

A new baby is wonderful and confusing for an older child. This story makes your child the hero of becoming a big brother or sister: it names the mixed feelings gently, shows the important jobs a big sibling has, and reassures them there is plenty of love to go around.

How parents use it

  • Read it in the weeks before the baby arrives to start the conversation.
  • Give it as a "big sibling gift" from the baby at the hospital or first meeting.
  • Add the baby's name if you know it, and it appears in the story.

Written for ages 1-10, with simpler words for toddlers.
