For the new big sibling
A book that makes the big kid feel big
The baby came home Tuesday. That night the big kid on the cover got read first.
The new baby gets the attention. This book gives the big sibling the starring role.
Their moment, not just the baby's
A story where the big kid is the brave one helps the hardest week of the transition.
A lesson tucked inside an adventure
Pick a lesson like being gentle or being a helper, and it arrives inside a quest instead of a lecture.
Both kids in one story
Add the baby as a character so the adventure stars them together.

A gift guide for the kid who just got promoted
New-baby gifts pile up for the baby. The kid who just became a big sibling watches it all from the couch. Here is how parents handle that.
The attention math
Every visitor walks past the big kid to reach the bassinet. One gift with their face on the cover flips the math for a night.
The hospital-visit move
Many parents hand the book over when the big kid meets the baby. The baby gives a gift, the big kid gets a starring role.
What it costs
$49.99 for the hardcover, shipping included, and the preview is free. Cheaper than the guilt toy, and it still works in a year.
Grandparents, this one is yours
You are already buying for the baby. One photo of the big kid from the family chat covers the kid who needs it more.
One hero, on purpose
The story centers on the big kid alone. The baby gets written into the words by name, but nobody shares this spotlight. That is the gift.
The reading payoff, during the wobbliest weeks
A new baby shakes every routine in the house. A book starring the big kid steadies the one that matters most.
Bedtime stays theirs
The feeding schedule eats the evening. Ten minutes with their own book keeps bedtime a big-kid ritual, not a leftover.
They ask for it by name
Kids reread the book they star in. Rereading builds early fluency, and this one never gets bumped for the baby.
The lesson lands as pride
Pick being a helper and the hero learning it has their face. It reads as a promotion, not a demand.
Not a hand-me-down
Half their world just became shared. A hardcover with their name on it is provably, permanently not.
New sibling story ideas parents actually pick
Pick a world in the quiz, or type your own idea and the story takes shape around your big kid.
The day they became the big one
The story opens the morning everything changed. The hero rises to it, page by page.
Helper training academy
A quest where the hero earns the big-sibling badge. Diaper runs count as missions now.
The gentle giant
A hero who is suddenly the biggest one in the room learns how to be soft. Good for toddler siblings.
The night watch
Somebody has to guard the house while the baby sleeps. The hero takes the job seriously.
Their obsession, unchanged
Dinosaurs, trucks, mermaids. Keeping their favorite world proves the baby did not take that too.
The baby in the words
The story stars your big kid, and the new baby appears in the words by name. Welcomed, not starring.
What to write in a new sibling book
The dedication is where you say the thing the busy weeks keep swallowing. Write it to the big kid. Steal any of these.
Tap any line above to start, then say it your way. Copy it and paste it into the dedication page when you make the book.
How to write your own
Write to the big kid only
This page is theirs. The baby has a whole nursery. Keep every sentence pointed at the hero.
Name their new title
Big sister, big brother, the big one. The title is the promotion. Put it in writing.
Date the week
Add the baby's arrival month. In ten years, both kids will read that line together.
Keep it short
Two or three sentences. You are running on new-baby sleep. Short and true beats long and polished.
Add the dedication when you build the book. Edit any word of it, right up until the book goes to print.
What age is a new sibling book for
Most new big siblings are 2 to 7. Set the reading level in the quiz, from read-aloud lines for a three-year-old to fuller pages for older kids.
Ages 2 to 4, read-aloud
Short rhythmic lines for a lap that just got smaller. Easy to read one-handed while the baby naps.
Ages 5 to 7, reading together
They sound out their own name and their new title. Both words do heavy lifting this month.
Ages 8 and up, reads alone
Fuller pages with a chapter feel. A book of their own for the weeks the house revolves around someone else.
When to order a new sibling book
The hardcover arrives in 9 to 12 days, door to door. Work backward from the due date, loosely. Babies do not.
A few weeks before the due date
The calm window. Build it during a quiet nap, approve the preview, and hide the box until the hospital visit.
After the baby arrives
Not too late. The wobbly weeks last a while, and a mid-month doorstep package lands even better.
Tonight, either way
The 2 to 3 minute quiz fits between feedings. The free preview is ready before the kettle boils.

Common questions
What age is this for?
Most new big siblings are 2 to 7. The story length and vocabulary adapt to the age you set.
Can the new baby be in the book?
Yes. Add the baby by name as a second character in the story.
When should it arrive?
Many parents time it for the hospital visit or the first week home. Allow 9 to 12 days for the hardcover.
Who writes and illustrates it?
Our AI writes and illustrates from the choices you make. Our team prints and binds the hardcover in the USA, and a real person reads every support email.
How many pages, and is it really hardcover?
24 or more illustrated pages, matte hardcover, heavyweight paper, printed and bound in the USA. Shipping is included in the price.
Why gift the big sibling instead of the baby?
The baby gets everything else. Visitors, presents, the whole schedule. A book starring the big kid is the one gift in the house that is only theirs.
What lessons fit a new big brother or big sister?
Parents pick being a helper, being gentle, or sharing. You choose the lesson in the quiz, and it arrives inside an adventure instead of a talk.
Can the story call them the big sister or big brother?
Yes. Type the idea in the quiz, like a big sister training for the baby's arrival. The story stars your big kid, and the baby lives in the words by name.
