Synopsis

iParenting Media Award Winner

Always before, when Mommy and Daddy said "the baby," they meant me. I liked being the baby. It felt warm and safe and lovey. Now everything is different. 

Kate—a new big sister—explains her feelings of being left out and forgotten when her baby brother Daniel arrives. She experiences the typical confusion and mixed emotions that result from having to share her parents with a new and demanding sibling. But with wit and a resourceful nature, Kate explores her new role and achieves the confidence to embrace her little brother.

Ultimately, the story demonstrates how kids can feel warm, safe, and loved in their family as they move from being a beloved only child to occupying a new and exciting role as the older sibling.

Includes a "Note to Parents" by psychologist and author Jane Annunziata, PsyD.
