About the books
A meaningful way to nurture sibling bonds, celebrate big sister’s and big brother's role, and ease the transition as your family grows.
Becoming a big sister or big brother is a big transition—one that deserves love, attention, and support.
This interactive read-aloud fill-in-the-blank book is designed to help big sisters or brothers welcome their new baby—whether they’re reading to a baby bump or a newborn. With gentle prompts it invites your child to introduce themselves, their family, and their world to baby. Even if they can’t yet read or write, they’ll delight in having a special way to connect.
Perfect for toddlers, preschoolers, or any soon-to-be big sister or brother, this keepsake book creates moments of bonding that can last a lifetime.
Inside you’ll find:
-
Fill-in-the-blank prompts to help big sister or brother share all about themselves, their family, and their world.
-
Drawing pages to capture their imagination and creativity.
-
Space for big sister or brother to write (or dictate) letters to baby.
-
Space for grown-ups to write a heartfelt letter to big sister or brother.
-
High-contrast patterns to mesmerize and stimulate baby in the early months.
-
Space to add family photos, so big sister or brother can proudly “read” their family’s story to the baby.
This book is designed for your big kid to share with their new baby (whether baby is still on the inside or already here) —even before either of them can read or write.
You might read the prompts aloud, invite your child to speak or draw, and return to the pages as often as you’d like.
It’s not about filling in every page—it’s about building connection, one sweet moment at a time. It’s also about gently preparing your older child for the transition ahead.
The high-contrast patterns are for big sister to show the baby once they’ve arrived. In the first three months, babies see mostly in black, white, and shades of grey. The world is still a blur, so anything bold and high-contrast is mesmerising. These pictures help catch your newborn’s eye and gently strengthen their focus. Read all about the benefits of high-contrast black and white books for newborns.
Here’s a tip: Add photos of your family right onto the patterned pages. The high-contrast backgrounds make the photos pop—and they give your big kid a “script” to follow. Instead of needing you to read every word, they can proudly point to the photos, name the people, and “read” the story of their family to the baby all on their own.
With or without photos, what you’re facilitating here is more than a book—it’s a beautiful shared experience, a gift for both of them (and you too)

Second Baby Collection
When you’re expecting your second baby, your heart can be full of excitement… and sometimes full of guilt, grief, or worry about how your growing family will navigate this transition.
These books help support big kids and mamas when going from 1 to 2.
Need a Minute Library
Simple audio support
to help you reconnect with yourself
in life’s demanding seasons.
Growing your family brings a different kind of transition.
Your heart expands quickly —
but so does the number of people needing you.
Many mothers are surprised by how stretched this season can feel.
Suddenly you’re balancing so many moving parts.
A baby who needs you constantly.
A child who still needs you deeply.
A home, a partner, a life that doesn’t pause while you adjust.
It can feel like there’s very little space left for you.
The Need a Minute Library was created with moments like this in mind.
Short, gentle audios you can listen to anytime in your day. You don't have to change what you're doing, the audios meet you just as you are; while baby feeds and your toddler plays nearby, while folding laundry, standing in the kitchen, or during a quick bathroom break...
They’re not about adding another task to your list.
Just small pauses that help you:
• catch your breath for a moment
• allow space for your nervous system to settle
• navigate the emotional stretch of a growing family
• feel more grounded in the middle of busy days
Because welcoming another child isn’t just an addition —
it reshapes the rhythm of your whole life.
You deserve moments of support inside that transition too.
