A book for the child who is about to become a big brother or sister

Proud, curious and a little worried

Becoming a big brother or sister brings up many feelings at once. A book where the child is the big hero who helps, comforts and shows the baby the world makes the waiting easier to talk about. The story can take up the hard things, such as sharing mum and dad, in a gentle way, and the pictures are drawn from a photo of the child.

Themes for future big brothers and sisters

Choose the Becoming a big brother or sister theme or jealousy, or the book idea The Big Sibling's Secret Mission.

A present from the baby

Many people give the book as a present from the baby to the big brother or sister, when they meet for the first time. The eBook is ready in a few minutes, and the hardback book takes two to three weeks; see the prices.

A book to grow with

When the baby is older, the children can read the book together. Do make a sequel with both children as heroes, in the same style and with the same characters, or a book of their own with the younger sibling as the hero, using the same characters and photos.
