WELCOME TO THE BIG KIDS CLUB

Answers many questions kids may have when a new baby is on the way.

Told from the perspective of a wise group of older siblings—who have already gone through the experience of welcoming a new member (the reader) to the Big Kids Club—this book is presented as the guide the big kids wish they had had at the time. A single question is posed on the verso of each spread and answered on the recto. The first musing is “Can my baby see me?” Careful to be mindful of all abilities, the Big Kids Club answers: “All babies are different, and not all of them are born being able to see.” They go on to explain how vision develops slowly with focus and colors, but “if your baby can’t see, you can make them laugh using different senses.” Other wonderings include “What does it mean when my baby cries?” “When can my baby talk to me?” and the ever important “Why does my baby poop so much?” The bigger kids and younger tots reflect a wide diversity of ethnicities and wear fantastically patterned attire throughout. The congratulatory tone and initiation into a secret club just may be the hook some new siblings need to feel special. (This book was reviewed digitally.)

A club that everyone will want to join.
