New Baby & Sibling Transitions

Books for Welcoming a New Baby & Family Changes

Welcoming a new baby brother or sister brings tremendous joy, but for older children, it can also bring feelings of confusion, jealousy, and big emotional adjustments as family attention and daily routines shift.

Our family transition collection provides the emotional scaffolding parents need: celebrating the new baby's arrival with an archival keepsake in *Welcome to the World*, while giving the older child dedicated stories in *Feel Big* that validate their feelings and in *The Team-Up* that reinforce their unbreakable 1-on-1 bond with parents.

Illustrated from real family photographs, these keepsakes reassure older children that family love only expands, creating comforting reading rituals during major family milestones.
