Reach for this book when your child is facing a major family transition, especially the arrival of a new sibling.

In this installment, she experiences the classic worry that her family of four is already perfect and that a fifth member might throw everything out of balance. Through humor and heart, the story validates a child's fear of being replaced or forgotten while showing how to find one's place in an expanding family. It is a gentle, funny, and supportive choice for elementary-aged children who value routine and clear communication.
