Bookroo's summary

A new baby arrives, and emotions run high for the older sibling. One moment brings love, the next, jealousy. This engaging book, filled with vivid photographs, guides children through the emotional rollercoaster of welcoming a new family member. Can they navigate the ups and downs of siblinghood?

From the publisher

It’s natural for children to be concerned about the arrival of a new baby at their house. Most big brothers and sisters feel loving and tender one minute, angry or jealous the next. With over forty vivid full-color photographs and a clear, supportive text by award-winning author Joanna Cole, this revised edition of a much-loved classic will prepare children for the ups and downs of having a new baby in the house. “Should help small children sort out and deal with the turbulent mixed feelings that assail them when a new baby comes home.” –Benjamin Spock, MD., author of Baby and Child Care
