Welcoming a new baby can bring excitement, curiosity—and some very big feelings. This reassuring book helps toddlers and preschoolers understand what may change when a baby joins the family while making space for feelings like jealousy, frustration, and uncertainty.
With practical, child-friendly guidance, it helps older siblings adjust to new routines, find their place in a changing family, and feel secure in the love and connection that remain theirs.
Why we love it:
👶 Helps children prepare for and adjust to a new sibling
💛 Validates mixed feelings without making children feel guilty for having them
🏡 Reassures children of their important and lasting place within the family
