Best-Ever Big Brother

Karen Katz's "Best-Ever Big Brother" is a gentle and affirming lift-the-flap book designed to help older siblings adjust to a new baby's arrival. Through colorful illustrations and simple text, the book celebrates the many things an older child can do that a baby cannot, from eating with a fork to riding a trike. Each spread ends with the older child lovingly reassuring the baby, "one day you'll be big like me," reinforcing their special role and fostering a sense of pride and connection. It's perfect for easing potential jealousy and promoting positive sibling bonds.

Babies sure have a lot of growing up to do! They can’t eat with a fork, sleep in a real bed, poop on a potty, ride a trike, or read a book. On every sweet lift-the-flap spread, Karen Katz’s illustrations celebrate the varied accomplishments of older siblings who may be in need of a little ego-stroking after a new baby’s arrival! Each book ends on a warm, loving note with the older child reassuring the baby that "one day you’ll be big like me."
