About This Book
A parent would reach for this book when their toddler or preschooler is navigating the complex transition of a new baby entering the family. It serves as a gentle guide to help children shift from being the sole center of attention to embracing a new identity as a helper and protector. The story focuses on the positive aspects of the new sibling dynamic, highlighting the special things a big sister can do that a baby cannot yet master. Parents will find it particularly useful for reinforcing a sense of pride and belonging during a time when a child might otherwise feel displaced. It is an ideal choice for the months leading up to a birth or the first weeks of the new baby's arrival at home.
