About This Book
A parent should reach for this book when their child is becoming aware of their own growth and loves hearing stories about being a baby. It's perfect for a child who just mastered a new skill or is about to become an older sibling. This book follows a young girl as she proudly compares all the things she couldn't do when she was little, like talk on the phone or eat with a fork, with all the things she can do now. The tone is celebratory and reassuring, reinforcing a child's growing sense of identity and confidence. Its simple, repetitive structure and humorous illustrations make it ideal for preschoolers who are beginning to understand the concept of time and their own personal journey from baby to big kid. It's a wonderful tool for sparking conversations about family memories and celebrating developmental milestones.

Ideal Reader
The ideal reader is a 3 to 5 year old who is keenly aware of their own growing abilities and loves to assert their independence. It is especially effective for a child who frequently says, "I can do it myself!" or who is preparing to become an older sibling, as it reinforces their capable, "big kid" status.
