The Baby Sister
What's The Baby Sister About
Tommy’s so excited that his mom is having a baby, and he asks her for a baby sister with a red ribbon in her hair. But he didn’t ask for stern Nana Fall-River to come while his mom is in the hospital. Tommy and Nana don’t get along very well, but when little Maureen is born, all the trouble is forgotten.
