"Why can't Mommy play with me?"
When Ellie's baby brother is born, everything changes. Mommy and Daddy are at the hospital, and Grandma and Grandpa are babysitting her at home. When Mommy finally comes home... she's tired, moving slowly, and can't pick Ellie up like before.
Mommy & Baby Are Home! is a gentle, honest story that shows what really happens when a new baby joins the family-through the eyes of a big sister. Young readers will follow Ellie as she navigates the ups and downs of becoming an older sibling: missing Mom and Dad, meeting the baby, learning to be gentle, and finding new ways to feel close.
Perfect for ages 1-6, this warm and reassuring book is ideal for:
- Preparing toddlers and preschoolers for a new baby
- Helping children understand that Mommy needs to rest after birth
- Encouraging empathy, patience, and sibling bonding
Whether you're welcoming a baby boy or girl, this sweet story will help your child feel prepared, included, and loved during one of life's biggest changes.
