LILLY CHICK AND THE BABY BROTHER

Lilly Chick has a baby brother! She is happy to meet little Matti, but she also has a question she cannot ignore: will Mum still have time for her?

In Lilly Chick and the Baby Brother, Lilly Chick discovers that welcoming a new baby can bring many feelings at once. As she gets to know her little brother, she gradually understands that being the older child in the family is something special: she can help, set a good example, and become Matti’s first friend.

With a short, accessible text and warm illustrations, this sturdy board book offers a gentle way to talk about one of early childhood’s biggest changes.

Why This Book Matters

This book gently helps children:

•        name and understand mixed feelings about a new baby brother or sister

•        recognise that joy, curiosity, and worry can all be natural responses to family change
