Synopsis
A child eagerly welcomes home his new baby brother.
Children sometimes have a difficult time adjusting to a new baby in the family. Though a little boy’s new sibling is too tiny to really properly play with, the baby does like to eat and sleep, and even look around. From holding to diaper changing, the little boy learns to be a proud big brother. With lots of love and affection from his parents, he knows he's special, and has his own unique place in their happy family.

Publisher's Note
A joyous child's-eye view of a growing family Having a new baby at home can be a rewarding experience for a big brother or sister. Helping, playing, and snuggling up together are all part of the fun. The creators of the acclaimed How I Was Adopted again charm readers with cheerful pictures and a simple text, here emphasizing an older sibling's confidence and curiosity. With a child-friendly trim size and large type, these books are perfect for young big brothers and sisters. Tips for understanding and responding to an older sibling's special needs are included for parents.
The author/artist creators of How I Was Adopted present this child's-eye view of family life, deftly describing the joy of welcoming a new sibling into the family. A companion volume to I'm a Big Sister.

Industry reviews
PreS-Gr 2 The texts in these two books are identical, with the exception of the gender terms. Cole has successfully captured the youngsters' voices, making it easy for readers to identify with them, whether the books are being read aloud or alone. Familiar situations, as well as positive reinforcement of individuality and importance as part of the family, are good reasons to put this book into the hands of children who will soon be older siblings. A concluding "Note to Parents" in each book offers suggestions on how to communicate with older children about the changes that are coming. Like the texts, the engaging illustrations are the same in both books. Aside from the obvious difference of a boy in one and a girl in the other, the scenes are set up the same the family at the park, looking at pictures, the father and older sibling giving the baby a bottle, etc. Unfortunately, the artist differentiates between a big brother and a big sister by showing the boy playing with trucks and building blocks, while the girl entertains dolls at a tea party. Sadly, due to these pictures, boys are unlikely to read about the big sister, which makes a case for a library to purchase both titles. Even if only one is feasible, it is certainly a solid addition to any collection. Dina Sherman, The Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh
