What People Are Saying
“Sweet and funny story about dealing with a new sibling. Readers will be left with the message that there is room for feelings to grow and change when family dynamics shift.”

“Such a cute book and story! Bought a couple of these books for those expecting new ones on the way… One for family, and the other for a good friend! The kids loved the book and the pet friendly illustrations :)”
— Happy Customer
“This little book has the sweetest characters and darling illustrations! Not only is this book good for families who are looking for ways to help their kids adjust to new additions, I think it can apply to similar situations where any kid may feel jealous of having to share attention and love (new friends in friend groups, extended family, etc). Great lesson, would highly recommend!”
— Happy Customer
“Families getting ready to welcome a new baby can use this book to discuss Munchkin's emotions and to prepare older kids for the jealousy and frustration they may feel at first. In the end, does Munchkin decide that sharing the attention (and toys) is worth it? Rest assured the book ends on a sweet, upbeat note.”
