A parent might reach for this book when their thoughtful, older child is struggling with the news of a new sibling. Anastasia Krupnik is a ten-year-old girl who loves making lists and writing poetry. Her world is orderly until her parents announce a new baby is on the way, sending her into a tailspin of jealousy and anger. This humorous and heartfelt classic explores the complex, often contradictory, emotions of growing up, from family love and frustration to self-identity. For ages 8-12, it's a perfect choice to validate a child's "negative" feelings about major life changes and to open a conversation about how love can coexist with jealousy and fear.
