Children often have mixed feelings about the arrival of a new baby. This book takes the expectant older sibling from the announcement of the new baby through the first months of sharing family time. Activities are preplanned--giving parents more time with the child that is making the transition from younger child to older sibling. The book is designed to involve the child in the preparation process for the new baby, stimulate the child's interest in the newcomer, and teach about the baby's capabilities.
