Reach for this book when your older child is struggling with the messy, loud, and time-consuming reality of a new sibling. While many books focus only on the excitement of a new baby, this story validates the complex mix of frustration and love that comes with sharing a home and parents. It uses rhyming verse to capture the daily disruptions, from smelly diapers to the lack of quiet time. Ideal for toddlers and preschoolers (ages 2 to 5), the book serves as a gentle bridge to discuss feelings of jealousy or being 'pushed aside' without making the child feel guilty. It offers a reassuring conclusion that while the baby changed the family's routine, it hasn't changed the parents' unconditional love for their first child. It is a comforting, realistic choice for families in transition.
