Why read it?

1 author picked I Am a Big Sister as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I liked it. The book starts from the moment the baby arrives and describes the tasks that the big sister can help with, like helping to throw a soiled diaper and playing with the baby.

The book also shows, through its illustrations, how big sisters can interact with their new siblings with confidence as they take up this new role. 

From Serene's list on preparing older child for new baby.
