About This Book
A parent should reach for this book when preparing a young child for the arrival of a new sibling. It gently introduces the concept by focusing on the positive, tangible act of creating a nursery. Through simple text and warm illustrations, the story follows a family as they set up a special room for the 'babee', turning what could be an anxious transition into an exciting project.

This book is a wonderful tool for starting a conversation about a new baby in a concrete, joyful, and non-threatening way.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book does not contain sensitive topics. Its approach to a new sibling is entirely positive, focusing on excitement and preparation. It intentionally sidesteps common older sibling feelings like jealousy or anxiety, which parents may see as a benefit for a first introduction or a limitation if they are looking to address those specific emotions.
Ideal Reader
A 3 to 5-year-old who has recently learned they are going to be a big brother or sister. This book is particularly well-suited for a first-time older sibling who needs a simple, concrete introduction to the idea of a new baby without yet delving into more complex emotions.
