Reach for this book when your toddler or preschooler first notices your growing belly and begins asking where the baby is. It is designed to bridge the gap between the abstract concept of a new sibling and the physical reality of pregnancy, making the transition feel like an exciting family adventure rather than a source of anxiety. The story follows a young child as they marvel at Mom's changing body and imagine the little person growing inside named Ellie. It emphasizes the themes of patience, curiosity, and the special bond that begins even before the baby is born. This is an ideal choice for parents who want a gentle, rhythmic way to involve their firstborn in the pregnancy journey while normalizing the long wait for a new playmate. It turns a season of waiting into a season of wonder, helping children feel connected to the new addition from the very start.
