Purchase options and add-ons

With an author's note about what big siblings need—extra guidance, reassurance, love—and sweet, engaging artwork, it's no wonder that nearly 4 million families have chosen I’m a Big Sister and its companion book, I’m a Big Brother,to prepare their young ones for their first big transition.

"Someone new is at our house," begins this loving, reassuring celebration of sisterhood from trusted author Joanna Cole.

Told through the eyes of a new older sister, this simple story lays out all the good things about being an older sibling, and just how exciting welcoming a new member to the family can be.

A lovely book to explain about being a big sister and gets the “Mummy and Daddy still love you” point across. Slightly annoyed that it says diapers instead of nappies for the UK market.

Fantastic book that advises young children how they can help their parents look after their younger siblings. I bought for my almost 3 year old daughter and she is very interested in the content, we read the book to her a few months before the baby was born. I sub the word 'diaper' for nappy. Highly recommend

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 January 2013

Both my daughter and I love this book. I bought it when I was expecting my second child, and this book helped prepare my daughter for her little brothers coming. It is well written, beautifully illustrated, and most of all, prepares both the older sister and the parents for the new arrival. The book does not only talk about the baby, but also talks a lot about the Big Sister, making her feel special too. At the back of the book, there is a message for the parents on how to make the older child feel special and help avoid unnecessary sibling rivalry. I really think it helped my daughter prepare for her younger brothers arrival and understand what to expect from babies. Excellent and necessary purchase!

3.0 out of 5 stars American not English, my little girl found it uninteresting
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 January 2020

Ok bit basic book didn’t really capture my girls attention luckily she can’t read so I changed text to mummy and nappy rather than mommy and diaper. No rhyming or much about joys of being big sister but is gentle way of showing a young child what they can and can’t do with baby. Wasn’t what I was expecting really why given 3 stars bit overpriced really as more of a once read thrown onto the bookshelf shelf where the other books she doesn’t particularly enjoy go. Bought book there’s a house in mummy’s tummy she likes this one and has asked me to read it her again and again.

Used this book to introduce the idea of a new sister to my 2 year old. Not sure how much she understood but she loves the book. She can relate to it now that her sister is here.
