About This Book
Patricia MacLachlan's 'You Were the First' is a beautifully written picture book that speaks directly to firstborn children, affirming their special place in the family. It gently reminds them that they were the first to experience many things with their parents, including teaching their mother and father how to be parents. This book is perfect for families welcoming a new sibling, helping the older child feel cherished and secure in their unique bond. It's a lovely way to open conversations about family love, individual importance, and the joy of shared first experiences.
