Description

Mum said: "When Baby comes alongthings will change a little bitbut there'll be cuddles every dayand new games for us to play."

Hello Baby. We'll see you soon.

The arrival of a new sibling can be a daunting time for a young child but with reassurance a child can be supported and encouraged to prepare and welcome the arrival of a baby. In Moira Butterfield's gentle text, she shows the ways a parent can work with a young child to welcome their new sister and brother and shows that, although family life will change, this can be a positive and rewarding experience. Accompanied by Gwen's bold and beautiful illustration and including information to support a parent, this is the perfect book for any family expecting a new baby.
