A parent would reach for this book when their toddler or preschooler begins to show signs of withdrawal, confusion, or mild resentment following the arrival of a new sibling. It is specifically designed for that delicate phase where the 'newness' of a baby has worn off and the older child realizes their brother or sister is a permanent fixture who requires significant parental attention. The story follows a young child looking for the playmate they expected their brother to be, only to find him occupied with baby needs. This gentle narrative validates the sense of loss a child feels when family dynamics shift. It moves from feelings of loneliness and being 'left behind' toward a soft realization that love hasn't disappeared, it has just expanded. It is a perfect choice for evening wind-down sessions when a child needs extra reassurance of their place in the family circle.
