Bookroo's summary

Gia's world is about to change with the arrival of a new sibling. Everyone's excited, but Gia worries about losing her special bond with Mama.

Will she find room in her heart for this unexpected addition, or will her fears come true? Join Gia on her journey of understanding and acceptance in this heartwarming tale of family and change.

From the publisher

Gia is tired of hearing about the new baby. It hasn’t even been born yet, but everyone, even her friends, seem fixated on it. Gia thinks things are fine just the way they are! And she’s worried: if the baby’s such a big deal now, what’s going to happen to Gia’s nice, cozy life with Mama once it’s born?

Beloved author Jacqueline Woodson and Sophie Blackall have created a heartwarming story for kids adjusting to the idea of a new family member. Young readers will be reassured by Gia’s eventual understanding that the baby won’t ruin the special bond she has with her mom, and might even be a sweet addition to the family.
