Reach for this book when your older child is navigating the shift from being the center of attention to becoming a big sibling. It is the perfect choice for families who want to move away from the trope of sibling jealousy and instead focus on the tangible, positive ways a preschooler can participate in a new baby's life. Lola models how to use her existing love for reading to care for her brother Leo, turning a potentially stressful transition into a bonding experience. The story follows Lola as she carefully selects books for different moments, from soothing a crying baby to sharing a bath-time story. It beautifully emphasizes the preschooler's agency and pride in their new role. The gentle acrylic illustrations provide a warm, secure atmosphere that makes the prospect of a new sibling feel like a joyful adventure rather than a disruption. It is highly recommended for children ages 2 to 5 who are preparing for or adjusting to a new arrival.
