Becoming a big sibling is a big adventure - and sometimes, a big challenge.
After the Little Baby Arrived is a heartfelt picture book that gently supports young children as they navigate the complex emotions that can arise when a new baby joins the family.
When Eddy learns he is going to be a big brother, he isn't quite sure how to feel. At first there is excitement - then confusion, worry, and even sadness. Will Mum and Dad still have time for him? Where does he fit now that everything feels different?
Through tender storytelling and warm, expressive illustrations, this reassuring book gives children permission to experience all their feelings - excitement, jealousy, sadness, and love - without judgement.
After the Little Baby Arrived reminds little ones that while feelings come and go, love remains constant, and that there is always room for every emotion in a growing family.
This gentle story offers children - and the adults supporting them - a safe and compassionate space to begin meaningful emotional conversations during times of change.
