PreS—In this vibrant, rhythmic, and charming picture book, a big brother expresses his joy upon the arrival of his new sibling. He helps whenever he can, and even during unpleasant tasks like diaper changes and naptime, he loves the newcomer. And his parents are proud. Engaging illustrations in watercolor and pastels capture the tenderness of this new family bond. This is an excellent choice for helping older children understand their new role in the family. Short, rhyming sentences make the story a quick read-aloud for group sharing and nap time.—Gwen Collier, Buffalo and Erie County Public Library, NY
