That’s fine! The story works equally well for lots of situations. If you’re keeping the baby’s gender a surprise, simply choose ‘new sibling’ instead of ‘new brother’ or ‘new sister’. You can choose to add the new baby’s name if you know it. And if you don’t, the story will simply use ‘baby’ instead. You can preview the whole book for free before you buy, so feel free to play around.

We have three choices for snuggly, cute baby characters, all bundled up and ready to be loved! Just choose the skin tone that best suits them. Our story supports multi-racial families, so you can choose different skin tones for each of the siblings. Because you might not know their hair colour yet, all the babies are wearing adorable little hats!

Yes, the story is suitable for all families. We never show mummy being pregnant or giving birth in the story, so it works just as well if you’re welcoming an adopted baby into your family.

If you’re an expecting parent, this book is a wonderful parenting tool to buy before baby is born. It explains the ins and outs of what it means to have a new baby brother or sister in simple, easy-to-understand language. Our customers say that showing the farmyard animals having babies is great for kids too! The soothing, reassuring nature of the story is designed to ease any anxieties your child (or you!) may be feeling about this very special change.

If you’re an uncle, aunt, grandparent, godparent, or family friend, it also makes a simply splendid gift once a baby is born. It helps make sure older siblings don’t feel left out and is a unique keepsake gift to mark the marvellous occasion.
