About This Book

A parent would reach for this book when their toddler or preschooler starts asking concrete questions about the baby growing in mommy's tummy. It is the perfect choice for addressing the transition from being an only child to becoming a big sibling, specifically focusing on the anticipation and the 'getting to know you' phase before the birth. The story follows a young child imagining what their new sibling will look like and what they will do together. It moves away from the biological 'how' and focuses on the emotional 'who,' exploring themes of curiosity, family bonding, and the joy of a new arrival. It is a gentle, reassuring pick for children aged 2 to 5 who are navigating the wait for a new playmate.
