Reach for this book when your toddler or preschooler is struggling with the arrival of a new sibling and needs to feel seen in their loneliness. Za-Za the zebra watches as her parents' attention shifts toward a demanding new baby, leaving her to play quietly on her own.

Lucy Cousins uses her signature bold illustrations and simple text to validate the feelings of jealousy and isolation that often come with a new baby. The story focuses on the reality of a busy household but concludes with a powerful, reassuring message: while the daily routine has changed, the parents' love for the older child remains steadfast and deep. It is an ideal choice for children ages 2 to 5 who are navigating the 'big kid' transition.
