There are interesting ideas for art and collage activities included to help children prepare for a new sibling. An ideal book for families with a new baby on the way... - Parents in Touch Each of us is different; our aspirations should not be limited according to our gender. No matter whether we are a boy or a girl the world's opportunities should be open to all of us. This is the message that comes through in this unusual take on the 'new sibling in the family' story by debut author Christine Kidney. Hoda Haddadi's spirited collage illustrations are a wonderful embodiment of children's boundless imaginations and bring a joyful sense of eager anticipation to each spread until the baby appears. - Red Reading Hub
