The Bear in My Family

Reach for this book when your child is feeling overwhelmed by an older sibling's presence, noise, or messy habits. It is the perfect choice for the younger child who needs to feel seen in their daily frustrations but also needs a gentle reminder of the security that comes with having a 'big' protector in the house. The story follows a young boy who insists he lives with a loud, messy, space-hogging bear. Through playful metaphors, the book explores the friction of shared spaces and the realization that while siblings can be 'beastly,' they are also the first ones to stand up for us. It is ideal for children aged 3 to 7 who are navigating the transition from seeing a sibling as a nuisance to seeing them as a partner.
