A heartwarming picture book that deals with the natural fears of an older child as they go through the changes involved in making room for a new sibling. I loved the illustrations, just the right blend of softness and bright colors.

A great book for kids who are going to have a new baby in the family, and even for kids aren't. My friend Diana (7 years old)loved this book.

it never occured to me to include children's stories, but Abby does it and it is actually a great idea when I can't remember what story i used.
This one i used preaching about the fear of change. The title says it all. it is a nice book - good length - nice watercolor illustrations by Nancy Poydar on every page
i like that the folks in the story are black. It seems as if we are getting more black children in RE.
