About This Book
Parents should reach for this book when their child is experiencing the 'big feelings' of a new sibling or when the family is navigating a period of chaotic change. Through the whimsical lens of a giant, abandoned baby who is adopted by a loving family, Allan Ahlberg explores themes of unconditional love, the protective nature of siblings, and how kindness can bridge even the most unusual differences. It is an ideal choice for normalizing the overwhelming nature of a new addition to the home while providing a much-needed sense of humor. This gentle yet fast-paced adventure is perfect for children aged 7 to 10 who are ready for a multi-layered story. The book manages to balance a high-stakes plot involving kidnappers and trials with a deeply grounded sense of family loyalty. It serves as a beautiful reminder that family is defined by who we choose to love, even when that choice involves a giant baby who outgrows the house.
