Summary: Breath-taking art captures the emotions of a new big sister
Review: Although many books attempt to address the emotions that older siblings encounter when a new baby arrives in the family, NONE have illustrations that come close to these. The artwork is incredible, especially in the artist's use of light and the way in which he captures the mixed emotions of the big sister as she tries to adjust to the new baby. The text is equally sensitive to life with a new baby through a little one's eyes. As a parent, the text made me more conscious of how confusing this time is for little ones and how fragile their emotions are at this point. I have seen MANY books on this subject- this one stands out. It should be at the top of the list of recommended books for new siblings.

Summary: Must-have for fathers
Review: As a father, this book meant something special to me, and I barely get through it each time I read it to my daughter. The thing that sets this book apart from many others is that the father plays such an important role in his daughter's life. Most books out there either have the mother only, or both parents, but this is the story of a dad who makes it a point to spend some special time with his little girl. What a positive and inspirational message. I cannot recommend it highly enough. I only wish I'd discovered it sooner!
