Big Babies

A parent might reach for this book when their 'big kid' suddenly starts acting like a baby again, perhaps after a new sibling arrives or during a stressful transition. Big Babies humorously explores what happens when a whole class of students decides to trade in their big kid responsibilities for a day of crawling, crying, and making messes. It playfully taps into the common childhood desire to be little and cared for, while gently affirming the pride and independence that come with growing up. This lighthearted story normalizes regressive behaviors through comedy, making it a perfect, low-pressure tool to open up a conversation with your 5 to 7-year-old. It reassures children that these feelings are normal and shared by others, using a silly school-day scenario to show that being a big kid, with all its freedoms and abilities, is ultimately more fun.
