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)
