IT'S BIG SISTER TIME

In the spirit of Joanna Cole's beloved, perennially bestselling I'm a Big Brother and I'm a Big Sister picture books, It's Big Brother Time! and It's Big Sister Time! are heartwarming new takes on a familiar topic. Starring diverse characters, these value-priced picture books are perfect for parents who want to help siblings prepare for the changes that come with bringing home a new baby.

Baby's loud. Baby's messy. Sometimes Baby really smells. Maybe Baby just does not know the rules? Good thing it is big brother or big sister time - they can show Baby how to be the best baby ever! These two picture books empower little learners by showing them that they have very important roles to play in introducing their family's new baby to the world. From cleaning up your messes to learning to share, big brother or big sister will teach the new baby everything. After all big brother and big sister were babies once, too - and they were really good at it.

STARRING A DIVERSE FAMILY: These two books star a loving interracial family of African and South Asian descent. This diverse cast of characters will appeal to a broad range of young families.
