A sister enumerates the joys of welcoming a new baby to the family and the advantages of already being "big." Having a new baby at home is a big change for everyone, especially kids. A little girl shows off the family's new baby, who is still too young to do lots of things, like walking or playing with toys. But the baby does like to eat and sleep, and even look around. Embracing her new role as a big sister, the youngster enjoys holding the baby, and even helps change diapers! With tender reassurance from her parents, she knows she's special, and has her own unique place in their loving family.

Publisher's Note
A joyous child's-eye view of a growing family Having a new baby at home can be a rewarding experience for a big brother or sister. Helping, playing, and snuggling up together are all part of the fun. The creators of the acclaimed How I Was Adopted again charm readers with cheerful pictures and a simple text, here emphasizing an older sibling's confidence and curiosity. With a child-friendly trim size and large type, these books are perfect for young big brothers and sisters. Tips for understanding and responding to an older sibling's special needs are included for parents. Warm, loving pictures accompany this upbeat look at how a family grows when a new baby comes home. A companion volume to I'm a Big Brother.
Industry reviews
PreS-Gr 2 The texts in these two books are identical, with the exception of the gender terms. Cole has successfully captured the youngsters' voices, making it easy for readers to identify with them, whether the books are being read aloud or alone. Familiar situations, as well as positive reinforcement of individuality and importance as part of the family, are good reasons to put this book into the hands of children who will soon be older siblings. A concluding "Note to Parents" in each book offers suggestions on how to communicate with older children about the changes that are coming. Like the texts, the engaging illustrations are the same in both books. Aside from the obvious difference of a boy in one and a girl in the other, the scenes are set up the same the family at the park, looking at pictures, the father and older sibling giving the baby a bottle, etc. Unfortunately, the artist differentiates between a big brother and a big sister by showing the boy playing with trucks and building blocks, while the girl entertains dolls at a tea party. Sadly, due to these pictures, boys are unlikely to read about the big sister, which makes a case for a library to purchase both titles. Even if only one is feasible, it is certainly a solid addition to any collection. Dina Sherman, The Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh Lopate
