Bookroo's summary

A young sibling navigates the arrival of a baby brother, sharing toys and teaching lessons. Yet, even the biggest sometimes yearn to be the baby again. In this loving family, roles shift, and everyone finds their place. How will this not-so-big sibling adjust to his new role?

From the publisher

“I used to be the baby, but now I am big.” So begins this story of a not-very-big sibling who suddenly finds himself with a baby brother. He willing shares his toys with the baby, he plays with him, and he knows when to be quiet. He sings a cheerful song when it is needed, and he teaches his brother many useful lessons. But sometimes even the biggest of us likes to be the baby – and in this loving family, that is no problem at all!
