When a new baby is on the way
Becoming a big brother or sister is a big change, and a story can give you a relaxed way to talk about it: what the baby will be like, what stays the same, what the older child can do that a baby cannot. It will not solve every difficult moment, but it gives you something to read together and a starting point for those conversations.
A good approach is to make the older child the hero and the baby a welcome supporting character. You know your child best, so read the text before printing and adjust anything that does not sound right for them. For a book about the baby itself, see the new baby book.
Books for siblings who are already a team
Siblings do not need a special occasion. A shared adventure, like a treasure hunt in the backyard or a rescue mission for the family cat, gives each child something to do. It works best when they have different strengths: the one who has the idea, the one who is brave, the one who notices what everyone else missed.
Details from real life are what make them recognize themselves, whether that is a running joke, the bunk bed dispute or who always gets the front seat.
Choosing the reading level
With a big age gap, write for the older child if you want the story to hold up, or for the younger one if you will mostly read it at bedtime. Reading aloud lets a younger child follow more than they could alone, and since text changes are unlimited, you can simplify any page that turns out too long.
Want to include parents or grandparents as well? There is room for up to five characters in total, as in every family book.

The book turned out so beautifully! The story is simple and really lovely, just right for a two-year-old. Thank you so much for the help. Such friendly contact! I'm sure our granddaughter will be delighted! Thank you!

I love everything about this book. The animation and the beautiful colors are just perfect. The story is absolutely delightful and we are going to have so much fun reading it aloud.

The book is written just right for children. I like it very much. The drawings are gorgeous! It's also great that you can still change the text yourself (e.g. add names).
