A book for the new big brother or sister
When a baby arrives, every visitor brings something for the baby. This one is for the older child, who gets to be the hero of the whole book.
Why it works for new sibling
- Something that’s only theirs

Giving it to someone else’s child? You write the note, the parent adds the photo.
Choose the story and write your dedication. We send the child’s parent a private link to add a photo, so you never have to ask them for one.

Questions people ask
Can the baby be in the book too?
Not yet. Each book stars one child, and this one is the older child's. We’re working on books for two children.
Which story is best for a child becoming a big sibling?
Any of them. Our books are written for ages 4 to 6 and all end gently. The Three Little Pigs and the Gingerbread Child both have your child looking after someone smaller.
