A story that helps a child step gently into being the big one.

A big change, made gentle

A new baby is a wonderful, enormous change for the child who was there first. A book gives them a calm, warm way to understand it, with themselves as the hero.

It keeps them at the center

When the attention shifts to a new baby, this book is the older child's own: a story where they matter, they help, and they are loved exactly as much as before.

Their new and important job

Being a big brother or big sister is a real role. The book gives the child a proud, hopeful picture of it before the baby even arrives.

Ideas to Start With

Every book begins with a moment. Here are a few to spark yours.

Becoming a Big Sister

The wait, the arrival, the first meeting. A reassuring story with the older child as the hero.

How I Help

The real, important things a big sibling does. A story that gives a child a proud new job.

Room for One More

A gentle story about a family growing, and love multiplying rather than dividing.
