About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is struggling to navigate their role with a new baby or is feeling overwhelmed by a sibling's crying. It provides a gentle, relatable framework for understanding that babies have different needs than older children and that patience is a superpower. Through the story of friends hosting a picnic, children see that while diapers and snacks are important, sometimes a little bit of silly, focused attention is the best medicine. The narrative follows Froggie and Rabbit as they prepare for a party, only to find the new baby gosling is quite hard to please. It beautifully models empathy and creative problem-solving without being preachy. It is an ideal choice for preschoolers and early elementary students who are transitioning into the 'big kid' role and need a reminder that they have a unique ability to make others smile.
