About This Book
One Special Day is a tender and energetic picture book that explores the emotional journey of a young boy, Spencer, as he prepares for and welcomes a new baby sibling. Spencer, who sees himself as strong as a bear and wild as a tiger, discovers new facets of his personality, like bravery and gentleness, through this significant life change. It's a wonderful book for parents to share with children aged 4-7 who are about to become, or have recently become, an older sibling, helping them process their feelings and celebrate their evolving identity within the family.
An energetic and imaginative boy becomes a big brother.
