From the Publisher

This book tells the story of a toddler who becomes a big sister when her baby brother is born into the family. The young girl is excited about becoming a big sister and all the new experiences. She helps to push the baby in a stroller, feed the baby, change the baby’s diaper, and give the baby a bath. The little girl is also happy to cuddle and tickle the baby. It is very important as a big sister for her to play quietly when the baby is asleep and she understands that! The little girl recognizes that she and her baby brother will get to grow up and play together. She also knows that Mommy and Daddy love them both. This is a sweet and compelling story of a joyous but potentially challenging transition for a young child into siblinghood. The illustrations in this story are colorful and fun for young children. This is the perfect book to read in a family with a new baby. Reviewer: Kristen Klotz; Ages 2 to 4.
