This book helped my daughter handle being a big sister when her brother was born. It's a gentle book and explains that Mom and Dad will need to take care of baby, but Big Sister won't be left out and she can actually help with the baby's care.

The thing I like about the book is that the baby is gender-neutral, so it works whether the new baby is a boy or a girl. The author just calls the baby "the baby" or "our baby," which is good in case you're not finding out the gender of the new baby or if you have more children in the future.

The pictures are colorful, the text is simple, and the message is important: being a big sister is an important "job"!
