A beautiful story about becoming a big sister.
Welcoming a new baby is an exciting change, but for an older sibling, it can also bring some big and complicated feelings. Big Sister Love by Cristina Neri is a gentle, reassuring story that helps children navigate the arrival of a new sibling and discover that love has plenty of room to grow.
When a new baby comes home, Big Sister isn't quite sure she likes the idea. Suddenly, there's someone new to share Mummy, home and family life with. But Mummy explains something very special – just like a baby, love grows too.
Through a sweet story and beautiful illustrations, children can follow Big Sister as she begins to understand her new role and discovers the special love that can grow between siblings.
