About This Book
Reach for this book when your older child is showing signs of anxiety or 'babyish' behavior in anticipation of a new sibling. It is specifically designed to soothe the fear that a new arrival will displace the older child's special place in the family. The story follows Bubble, a young girl who helps her mother practice bedtime routines for the coming baby. By framing the preparation as a collaborative game, the book validates the older child's need for continued nurturance while positioning them as a capable helper. It is an ideal choice for children aged 3 to 7 who are navigating the transition from being an only child to a big sibling. Parents will appreciate how it models a gentle, proactive approach to maintaining emotional security through familiar rituals during times of major family change.
