Great book!!!

This book is a great story for children anticipating the arrival of a sibling or who are siblings of a baby. The layout is interesting and the letters show so many emotions. As a teacher, I see this book lending itself to a great springboard for writing with children. I've personally met Sarah Sullivan and she is great to work with!! Go to her website to find information on inviting Sarah to your school!

Love this book!

Sarah Sullivan is a wonderful author. This book is great for a boy waiting to be a big brother--all the emotions he feels about the new baby sister. It's great.

Great for a together read

The letter/ scrapbook format of this book really makes it easy to read and discuss issues that come with being a big brother. It's a great book for parents with older siblings becoming big brother/ sister to read together. Great as a springboard for conversations on what comes with being a big brother, and how your youngster might be feeling about it.
