Reach for this book when your child is struggling with the 'green-eyed monster' that often follows the arrival of a new sibling or a change in family dynamics. It is specifically designed for children who feel their 'specialness' is being eclipsed by a younger brother or sister who seems to get all the applause for basic tasks. The story follows Lucille as she navigates deep feelings of envy toward her sister, Margaret, especially when a visiting grandmother enters the mix. This gentle, realistic narrative helps normalize the feeling of being overlooked and provides a vocabulary for frustration. By focusing on the relationship with her grandmother, the book offers a path forward that emphasizes individual value and the idea that love isn't a limited resource. It is an ideal tool for parents looking to open a non-judgmental conversation about sibling rivalry and the need for one-on-one attention.
