    About this ebook

    Help prepare for the arrival of a new baby sibling
    This colorful, animated, read-along tale is designed to help prepare the soon-to-be older sister for the arrival of a new baby. This book gives parents the language needed to speak to their daughter in a way that is supportive, complimentary and caring. In this story, Amanda learns about preparing for the new baby's arrival and what it truly means to be a big sister. Amanda is excited when she finds out that being a big sister is going to be one of the most important roles in her life!
    A perfect gift for those who care about creating healthy sibling and family relationships.
    Along with Amanda, your daughter will learn what it means to be a big sister:
    •   Which toys are safe for babies and which are dangerous
    •   Who will be with her when the baby is born
    •   When it's okay to pick up the baby
    •   The importance of her new role in the family
    •   A discussion about the real-life issue of parents' temporary absence while at the hospital prepares the youngster for what might otherwise be a confusing and frightening time
     
    Included is a handy tip sheet with succinctly detailed suggestions for supporting the older child, as well as a download link for the upbeat and catchy tune, "Watch Me Baby, Watch Your Sister," which emphasizes the special bond between sisters and their new baby siblings.

      There are three reasons why I like this book. The first reason is the illustrations. The child that decides to read this book with their parent can see exact examples of what it takes to be a good sister. Such as: cleaning up toys that are inappropriate for the new-born, washing and scrubbing dirty hands before touching the baby or the baby's toys, and playing a special role in the baby's life positively. All these examples are represented with pictures so that the child could see what it takes to be a good sister. The second reason why I like this book is because of the characters. They are very much believable, a mother and a young girl who is about to become a sister can relate easily to this story. For example, when the mother says, "Amanda, put your hand right here on my belly". Amanda responds back by saying, "What is that"? surprisingly. The last reason why I like this book is the CD included inside. The delightful musical CD adds to vibe of the story. Enhancing the message of the story. "The purpose of this book is to support young children in understanding their new role as an older sibling. As the structure of the family changes, it it extremely important for the older child to realize her very essential role".
