About This Book
Reach for this book when your child starts asking questions about their own infancy or when you are preparing a preschooler for the arrival of a new sibling. It serves as a gentle, factual bridge between a child's current 'big kid' status and the mysterious world of babies, helping them understand that infants are not just small adults but developing humans with unique needs. By framing the science of development through the eyes of an older sister, the book validates the older child's role while teaching empathy. It covers everything from how babies see and taste to how they learn through play. It is a perfect choice for parents who want to replace sibling anxiety with scientific curiosity and a sense of protective pride in their child's own growth journey.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book is entirely secular and clinical yet warm. It does not address disability or developmental delays, focusing instead on a standard developmental trajectory.
Ideal Reader
A four or five-year-old child who is feeling 'displaced' by a new baby. By positioning the baby as a subject of study, it gives the older child a sense of mastery and intellectual distance that can ease jealousy.
