About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is eager to prove they are a big kid but finds themselves easily frustrated by the unpredictable needs of younger siblings or peers. This charming early chapter book follows Eva the Owlet as she takes on the big responsibility of babysitting her brother Mo. While she starts with high energy and a perfect plan, she quickly learns that leadership requires more than just creativity: it requires patience, flexibility, and a calm heart. It is an excellent choice for navigating the transition from being the center of attention to becoming a helper. The story reinforces the idea that even when things go wrong, asking for help and staying resilient are what truly make someone a big kid. It is perfectly pitched for newly independent readers ages 5 to 8.
