Reach for this book when your older child is struggling to share your attention or expressing frustration toward a new baby.

Ruby, the protagonist, finds herself bored and overlooked while her mother is preoccupied with the baby, leading her to imagine creative ways to send her brother away on wild adventures. While the title sounds slightly provocative, the story is a heartwarming exploration of the power of play to bridge the gap between resentment and inclusion. It validates a child's very real feelings of jealousy and loneliness without judgment. Ideal for preschoolers and early elementary students, this book offers a safe space to discuss the complicated mix of love and annoyance that defines the sibling bond, ultimately showing that having a companion can be even more fun than being alone.
