The story focuses on themes of pride and personal growth, reframing the new sibling dynamic as a hierarchy of competence rather than a competition for love.

By celebrating these milestones, the book helps children find their new identity as a capable leader in the family, ultimately fostering a sense of protective affection toward the baby.
