Vampire Baby

Reach for this book when your older child is struggling to find the 'cute' in a new sibling and needs a humorous way to vent their frustrations. It captures that specific moment when a toddler's biting, screeching, and unpredictable behavior feels less like a phase and more like a supernatural transformation. By framing the new baby as a 'vampire,' the story validates a child's annoyance while using comedy to bridge the gap toward acceptance. The story follows Tootie, a big brother who is convinced his new sister is a vampire because she has pointy teeth, hates garlic (baby food), and sleeps all day. This imaginative premise allows children to explore themes of jealousy and sibling rivalry through a safe, fantastical lens. It is ideal for children ages 4 to 8 who are navigating the messy reality of growing families and need a laugh-out-loud reminder that they are not alone in their 'monstrous' feelings.
