“Someone is new at our home. Do you know who it is? / It’s our baby. I’m a big sister now!” I’m a Big Sister and I’m a Big Brother are simple stories perfect for young toddlers welcoming a new baby into their home. These reassuring picture books help toddlers understand what a new baby can do, while keeping the focus on how special their new role is as a big sister or big brother. The big sister or brother can help the baby with a bottle, can sing to the baby, and can make the baby feel loved. ...more
Read this at Target. It looks like a pretty good book for celebrating becoming a big sister. The gender of the sibling is neutral, so it makes it adaptable for all new siblings, excepting twins. This book really focuses on the good things about being a sister of a newborn. It mentions that babies cry a lot, but focuses on the child's ability to help figure out why. A large portion is also focused on how the first child is still special, including the new role of sister. One draw back, the ...more
Cute book, definitely better for younger toddlers. The pictures are very cute and the concepts are simple. I really liked this one and so did our little girl. It definitely added to her excitement about the new baby on the way and she has been requesting this book a lot!
This has become a regular in the night-time rotation.
I like that the book helps to explain that newborns have different needs and limitations and that the older siblings can bond and help care for the new household addition.

While this title feels a bit generic (you can almost fill in "brother" anywhere you see the word "sister"), it offers the basics for a toddler/early preschooler to understand their new role as a big sister.
Very direct way of explaining the differences between what a big sister can do and what babies can do. Also reinforces the love among family members despite the changes in the household.
One of our granddaughter's (age 3) current favorites since she IS a big sister to a 1-year old. Terrific book to read with her.
I feel like reading and talking about this book has helped my daughter adjust to her new brother.
Excellent book for introducing aspects of life with a new baby sister/brother to a child. Best for ages 2-6.
Upbeat, cute book about adjusting to life with a new baby as a big sister. Another one we read a lot.
