About This Book
Reach for this book when your little one is struggling to understand why the arrival of a new baby means they have to change their volume or wait their turn. It is a perfect choice for children who are eager to help but do not yet understand the delicate nature of a newborn's sleep schedule. Through the eyes of Biscuit the puppy, the story gently explores the concepts of patience and quiet love. While Biscuit is desperate to play, he eventually learns that being a 'big' friend means waiting for the right moment. This early reader uses repetitive text and warm illustrations to make these complex social lessons accessible for toddlers and preschoolers transitioning into the role of an older sibling.

Sensitive Topics
The book is entirely secular and safe. It avoids any sibling rivalry or negative 'replacement' feelings, focusing instead on the puppy's exuberant but misplaced energy. There are no heavy topics; it is a gentle behavioral model.
