Reach for this book when your older child expresses frustration, jealousy, or a lack of connection with a new baby in the home. It is particularly helpful for children who seem annoyed by the baby's lack of abilities or the disruption to their routine. The story follows Lindsay, who finds her new sister Callie quite 'silly' and useless because she cannot play or talk. The narrative shifts beautifully when Lindsay's parents show her photos of her own babyhood, helping her bridge the gap between her 'big kid' status and her sister's current stage. It is a gentle, realistic look at sibling integration for children ages 3 to 7, emphasizing empathy and the continuity of family love.
