Little Miss, Big Sis

This has been a super durable book in our bedtime reading rotation. It is quite sweet. Kind of a haiku. Every page is like one word, maybe two. A girl gets a baby brother. A realistic look at siblinghood. Some of the short declarations have wormed their way into my brain, so I find myself muttering, “Admired. Inspired!” when one kid imitates another kid. The portrayal of labor is, “Oh - ow? Now!!! Wow.” Accurate. My kid loses their shit at “NO, NOT THE VASES!”

Originally posted on Creative Madness Mama.Amazing! Wonderful! I love this ‘big sister' book and I've read quite a few. This is my favorite. The simple Peter H. Reynolds illustrations are delightful as per usual. Rhyming text from Amy Krouse Rosenthal is enlightening and covers more than just the initial excitement and then chaos. Every big sister should get this book!
