Reach for this book when your child is acting out or expressing 'big feelings' about a new baby joining the family.

It is an essential read for validating the resentment, jealousy, and fear of displacement that often precede a new arrival. Ideal for children aged 3 to 8, this story moves beyond simple sibling rivalry to explore the deep, exclusive bond between a mother and daughter. It offers parents a way to reassure their child that while the family is growing, their special place in it is permanent. The story ends on a high note of connection, making it a comforting tool for navigating a major life transition.
