When a new baby comes home, where does a big sister put all her big feelings?

Luna loved being Luna. Just her, Mom, and Dad. And every night, Dad called her his honeybun.

Then her baby brother came home, and the house turned loud and full. Luna loves Oliver. She also feels pushed aside. And she feels bad for feeling that way, all at once, all tangled together.

This gentle picture book sits with the hard part first. It does not rush a child toward being happy about the new baby. Instead it gives your child four small tools to carry the tangled feelings a new sibling brings: Naming the feeling, Breathing through it, Marking the change, and Keeping what matters. Along the way, Luna learns something that stays with her. A hard feeling can sit right next to love.

Inside this book:

  • An honest story about sibling jealousy, told without shame
  • Four simple tools a child can use again and again
  • Body-based feeling words children recognize in themselves
  • Warm illustrations of a family getting used to being four
  • A reassuring truth: love does not divide when a family grows
  • A For Grown-Ups guide with what to say and what to do at home
The parent guide draws on American Academy of Pediatrics guidance for helping an older child adjust to a new baby, including protected one-on-one time, normalizing regression, and inviting rather than assigning a helper role.

Written for families expecting a second child, for new big sisters and big brothers, and for any child learning that big feelings are allowed.

Big Sister, Big Feelings is Book Two in the Honey Steps series from Honeybun Press. Gentle stories that give children four small tools for life's big changes. Small enough to carry. Big enough to share.
