Bookroo's summary

Benny's life is turned upside down by his new baby sister, Delilah, whose constant crying steals his parents' attention. Frustrated and feeling overlooked, Benny wonders why everyone is so enamored with her. But when Delilah's cries become relentless one night, Benny discovers a surprising way to soothe her, learning an unexpected lesson about family and love. Can Benny find his place in this new family dynamic, or will the noise and chaos be too much to handle?
