Lia is SO excited to be a big sister! She can't wait for the cuddles, the playing, and the laughing. But when Baby Sammy finally arrives, the reality is a lot messier.
Sammy cries in the morning, during dinner, and in the middle of the night. Daddy and Stepmom are exhausted. Everywhere they go, people only want to look at the new baby. Suddenly, Lia goes from being an excited big sister to feeling completely invisible.
Will Daddy and Stepmom notice her big feelings? And will Lia ever figure out how to be the amazing big sister Sammy needs?
Why this book will enter the reader's heart:
- Relatable Big Feelings: Validates the jealousy, loneliness, and regression older children often experience when a new baby arrives.
- Blended Family Representation: Features a loving stepmom and daddy working together to support their older child through a massive life transition.
- Gentle Solutions: Beautifully illustrates how dedicated one-on-one time can heal a child's heart and restore family connection.
- Bonus Note for Grown-Ups: Includes compassionate, practical tips for parents navigating the demanding season of bringing a newborn home.
Perfect for families expecting a new baby or older siblings struggling with a recent family addition, Lia and Baby Sammy is a tender reminder that a family's heart doesn't divide when a new baby comes-it just grows bigger.
