Reach for this book when your child is feeling the sting of a new arrival, whether that is a baby sibling or even a new pet, and seems to be acting out or feeling 'second best.' It is an ideal choice for the child who has enjoyed being the center of their parents' world and is now navigating the messy transition of sharing that spotlight. The story follows a pampered dog who believes she is the queen of her household, only to have her royal lifestyle interrupted by a 'tiny newcomer' who takes all the attention. It uses humor and a lighthearted royal metaphor to explore very real feelings of jealousy, displacement, and the eventual realization that there is enough love for everyone. Parents will appreciate how it validates a child's frustration without being overly preachy, providing a safe, funny space to discuss the changing family dynamic.
