The Very Tiny Baby
From learning that grown-ups can be scared to experiencing mean thoughts about a newborn sibling, Jacob develops new, sometimes tough understanding when his baby brother is born too soon. The faces of these simply drawn characters and the scrapbook construction of Jacob’s feelings form an honest portrayal of a child’s perspective on premature birth. Tender lessons on nursing, good germs and bad germs, and empathy make this book perfect for tots with or without newborn siblings. Ages three to five.
