The Blurb On The Back:
Ruby is used to being the centre of attention, until a baby brother comes along!
At first, she can’t wait to make friends with the new arrival - but Raj isn’t old enough to play yet. And Ruby isn’t sure she likes having to share her mum and dad with a little brother. Then, the incident with the bear happens …
This book is perfect for little ones who are about to get a new sibling.
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
Fiona Munro’s picture board book (with illustrations by Darshika Varma) is perfect for young readers who are finding it difficult to deal with a new baby sibling and gives useful tips for parents who want to help them with that adjustment. Varma’s illustrations deserve special mention for the inclusivity, including Ruby’s wheelchair using mum but Munro also gets Ruby’s emotions spot on and I really felt for her when Ravi snaffled Blue Bear.
BIG SISTER - RUBY AND THE NEW BABY was released in the United Kingdom on 6th January 2022. Thanks to the Amazon Vine Programme for the review copy of this book.
