Synopsis

Introducing a young child to the idea of a new sibling can be a tricky venture. This book helps parents to talk to their child about the baby developing in Mommy's tummy and what to expect when it comes out. Warm, delightful illustrations can be completed, colored in, and engaged with. Activities include thinking up names for baby, filling in a family tree, practicing to hold a baby, designing a babygrow, and talking about the older child's likes and dislikes.

Lie Dirkx is an emerging London-based illustrator. Her bright, blocky drawings have a vintage aesthetic that simultaneously feels very contemporary.

Review:

This book from Cicada Books is a wonderful activity book to get your child/ children ready for a new baby. ―Boudesignblog

The New Baby is an adorable activity paperback created to help children make sense of what it means to become a sibling. With humorous and colorful illustrations, children can doodle, color in and create. While the art is in play, little minds can begin to think about the ways in which life will be different once baby arrives, and about the roles of family members. ―babyology
