Reach for this book when your older child is navigating the complicated, often messy transition of welcoming a new sibling. It is an ideal choice for the child who might be acting out, feeling forgotten, or showing a mix of affection and aggression toward the new baby. Through a conversation between a father and daughter, the story recounts the first weeks of a baby's life, capturing the reality that babies can be boring, loud, and demanding. Robie Harris skillfully validates the full spectrum of a sibling's experience, from the initial disappointment that the baby can't play to the eventual pride of being a big sister. This book is developmentally perfect for ages 3 to 7, offering a safe space to discuss 'not-so-nice' feelings without judgment. It helps parents reinforce the idea that their love for the firstborn hasn't changed, even while the family dynamic has.
