A beautiful story about becoming a big brother.
Welcoming a new baby is an exciting milestone, but for an older sibling it can also bring plenty of new and complicated feelings. Big Brother Love by Cristina Neri is a gentle, reassuring story designed to help children navigate the arrival of a new sibling and discover how love can grow along with their family.
When a new baby comes home, Big Brother isn't quite sure he likes the idea. Suddenly, there's someone new sharing Mummy's attention and becoming part of everyday family life. But Mummy has an important message to share – just like a baby grows, love grows too.
Through a sweet story and beautiful illustrations, children can follow Big Brother as he begins to understand his new role and discover the special bond that can develop between siblings.
