I Have a New Sibling

Has a new baby joined your family? This personalized book can help your older child adjust to being a big brother or big sister! 

(If you have not had the new baby yet, see our other title “Soon-to-Be New Sibling.”)

Because Twigtale’s books are customized to your toddler or preschooler with personal photos, the messages are much more effective.  Read why Twigtale books work here.

This book helps your older child adjust to his or her new role as big brother or big sister through extra love, guidance, and reassurance, as well as understanding about newborn differences.  There is also a reference to when your older child was a baby, to help make the new baby experience familiar and personal.  The story focuses on what will change and what will stay the same, and works to give your older child a sense of control where they can have it.  Also, the concept of having two feelings in the midst of a transition is normalized for your child.  Ultimately, your child is reassured that love expands as your family grows.
