About This Book
A parent should reach for this book when helping a young child prepare for, or adjust to, the arrival of twin siblings. The story is told from the gentle, observational perspective of a new big sister as she gets to know her two baby brothers. She notices that they sleep, eat, and cry a lot, and that her parents are very busy. The book beautifully captures a child's curiosity and the quiet process of finding one's place in a suddenly larger, louder family. Through Charlotte Voake's soft, expressive illustrations and simple text, the book validates the mixed emotions a child might feel without focusing on overt jealousy. Instead, it normalizes the overwhelming nature of newborns and models a slow, sweet journey toward love and connection. It’s an ideal, reassuring read for children ages 2 to 5 who are navigating this unique family transition, offering comfort and a quiet sense of belonging.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The book addresses the common emotional challenge of adjusting to new siblings, but it does so in a gentle, secular, and entirely positive way. The resolution is hopeful and affirming, focusing on love and acceptance.
Ideal Reader
A 3 to 5 year old child who is about to welcome twin siblings or has recently become an older sibling to twins. This book is particularly well suited for a child who is more of an observer, one who is quietly processing big changes rather than acting out with dramatic jealousy.
