Customer Reviews

Helps adopted kids prepare for new siblings.

I was so pleased to see that adoption is included as just one other way to add a new baby to a family. Ms. Danzig has such a comfortable, factual way of treating all the events -- pregnancy, birth, coming home and then continues on with baby's development. I love the way she blends the excitement of a new baby with the inevitable downside, and does it with an overriding message of unconditional love and understanding. What a great way to demonstrate the best of parenting and being a big brother or sister! Charming and a must-have.

elementary teacher

This is an excellent book--perfect for the siblings of newborns. I have shared it with several of my 2nd grade students (and their families) who will soon have new brothers or sisters. They love the illustrations and the text itself leads to some great questions! This book is not meant to be read in a single setting--it should be spread out for several days.

Great Book!!!!

Our whole family has enjoyed this book a lot! It gives a lot of information in fun, easy to understand ways. Fun for a family expecting another baby!

Ob Nurse Practitioner

I put this book in our waiting room. The expectant kids love it. The author really seems to know what issues are important to these big siblings-to-be. The information is complete and accurate but charmingly presented: "they grow in the uterus, or womb, a special place for babies below moms stomach. (It's not where mom's food goes)" If you only get one book, this is it.

A great book

A wonderful, whimsical, fun book to help siblings understand the new baby in their family. Beautifully illustrated. Great for its multicultural feel, reference to adoption, kids feelings, etc. Nothing like it out there.
