How to Be a Baby . . . by Me, the Big Sister

Reach for this book when your older child is struggling with the lifestyle changes brought on by a new baby or feeling a bit overshadowed by the nursery's newest resident. Instead of a sentimental story about siblings, this book takes a refreshingly cheeky and humorous approach. It is narrated by a 'big sister' who offers a survival guide on the limitations of being a baby, such as having no teeth and not being allowed to eat chocolate. This clever perspective shift helps children ages 3 to 7 move away from jealousy and toward a sense of superiority and pride in their own 'big kid' abilities. It validates the frustration of having a noisy, needy sibling while highlighting the freedom and independence that comes with growing up. It is a perfect choice for parents who want to open a conversation about family dynamics through laughter rather than a lecture.
