About This Book
Reach for this book when your older child has moved past the initial excitement of a new sibling and is now feeling the daily grind of sharing space, quiet, and parental attention. It is particularly effective for children who are expressing intense frustration or verbalizing a wish that the baby would simply go away. The story follows a young boy who is completely fed up with his baby brother Harry: the spit-up, the crying, and the constant interruptions to his life. In his imagination, he decides the only solution is to mail Harry to the moon. However, through a series of relatable domestic moments, he begins to realize that Harry is more than just a nuisance. This book is perfectly suited for preschoolers and early elementary students (ages 3 to 7) because it validates their big, often scary feelings of resentment without judgment, while gently guiding them toward the concept of sibling bonding. It is an excellent tool for opening up honest conversations about the difficult transitions that come with a growing family.
