She thought she was getting a best friend... but she got a baby instead.
Becoming Us is a tender and emotionally resonant story about becoming a big sibling.
When a new baby arrives, everything changes. The days can feel long, the waiting endless, and the reality of having a brother or sister may look very different from what a toddler was told or imagined it might be. Through gentle storytelling and deeply familiar moments, this picture book captures the emotional landscape many toddlers experience but often cannot yet express while waiting for their sibling to grow.
Created for children adjusting to life with a new baby, this story offers reassurance, recognition, and comfort as little ones learn what it means to grow into their new role.
More than a picture book, the back matter includes a thoughtful parent guide featuring emotional support tools, conversation prompts, and gentle reminders for families navigating the transition after a baby arrives.
Filled with heart, humor, and the wonderfully literal logic of toddlerhood, Becoming Us explores:
- the excitement and uncertainty of welcoming a new sibling
- the patience required for development, connection, and friendship to grow
- the enduring bond formed through simple everyday moments of love and care
A meaningful addition to home, classroom, counseling, and bookstore collections, this is a story for families preparing for or welcoming a new baby-and a keepsake to revisit as siblings grow together.
