Ruby and the new baby

"Ruby is three years old and is an only child. She is used to being the center of attention in her family. But things are about to change. Ruby is going to have a new brother or sister soon. Ruby is excited--she can't wait to help her little brother or sister get dressed and play ball with them! But when Ruby's baby brother, Raj, is born, she realizes that being a big sister isn't as fun or easy as she had expected ... Follow Ruby as she discovers what it is truly like to be a big sister and have a new sibling in the family. It can be difficult for children to adapt to a new family dynamic, but it is important for families to talk about the tricky topic. Big Sister provides parents and caregivers with a resource that promotes discussion. It gently introduces toddlers to the idea of having a new sibling, and it deals with the challenges and emotions new big siblings may experience during this time. Packed with adorable illustrations and a beautifully written, heart-warming story, this board book is a great addition to any child's bookshelf and is perfect for adults and their little ones to share together. Having a younger sibling isn't always easy. Do you have what it takes to be a great older brother or sister?"--, Provided by publisher
