NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A heartwarming celebration of sibling love and the journey of becoming a big sister. The perfect gift for families welcoming a new baby or preparing their child for the arrival of a sibling.

This warm, funny, and touching picture book captures the excitement, challenges, and joys (and occasional conflicts!) of becoming a big sister. Through the eyes of an enthusiastic young girl, readers are taken on a journey from the moment she learns about her new sibling to the special bond they form over the years.

With humor and heart, the story explores many facets of siblinghood—from decorating the baby's room and choosing a name to the reality of sleepless nights and noisy days.

As the years pass, the siblings experience a range of emotions together—excitement, jealousy, pride, and love—always sticking together through thick and thin. The story beautifully illustrates how the presence of a sibling makes life richer, more fun, and filled with unforgettable memories.

This is a perfect baby shower gift and an ideal read for families welcoming a new baby, offering a reassuring and joyful perspective on the adventures that lie ahead.
"Realistic and hopeful, this title is ideal for parents eager to support a soon-to-be big sister." —Kirkus

"Each sentence effortlessly shares the ups and downs of siblings and the things only they can know. . . . [An] adorable glimpse at siblings." —School Library Journal
