Reach for this book when your older child is struggling with the 'new normal' of a baby in the house and seems resistant to the idea that a sibling can be a friend. It is particularly effective for children expressing outward resentment, ignoring the baby, or feeling that their parents have been 'stolen' by the newcomer. Geraldine is a pig who is unimpressed by her new brother, Willie, and she does not hide her feelings. Through gentle humor and relatable frustration, the story validates a child's right to feel annoyed while showing that connection often happens in small, private moments rather than through forced interaction. This 24-page picture book is perfect for preschoolers and young elementary students who need to see their complex feelings reflected without judgment. It offers a soft path toward acceptance by focusing on the unique role an older sibling plays in a baby's life.
