About This Book
Reach for this book when your child starts asking questions about where they fit in as your family grows or when a new sibling is on the way. It is a gentle, lyrical reassurance for children who might worry that a new baby means there is less love to go around. Instead of focusing on the logistics of a new baby, the story centers on the emotional expansion of a family's heart. Through rhythmic poetry and warm illustrations, the book follows sisters who wish for a sibling and discover that love is not a finite resource to be divided, but a growing force that multiplies. It is particularly suited for children aged 4 to 8 who are navigating the transition from being an only child or the youngest child to becoming a big sibling. It frames the arrival of a new family member as a shared joy rather than a displacement.

Sensitive Topics
The book is entirely secular and takes a very gentle, hopeful approach to family expansion. There are no mentions of the physical process of pregnancy or birth, making it a safe, high-level emotional tool. It handles the 'wish' for a sibling with grace, though it assumes a positive outcome.
