A welcome book for the new sibling — or for the older one
Becoming a big brother or big sister is a huge transition. A personalized new sibling book helps the older child see themselves as the loving, capable hero of this new chapter.
New Sibling books, specifically — There is a specific look a three-year-old gives a newborn baby from across the room — not hostility exactly, but something careful and unresolved. The older child is working something out. He had a place in the family, a clear one, and now that place has company. Even a boy who has been waiting for a baby sister for months can arrive at the day feeling smaller than expected.
A personalized new sibling book turns the camera around. Instead of telling your son or daughter how to feel about the baby, it shows them who they already are: the big one, the one who knows things, the one this baby is lucky to have. The 15 illustrated scenes follow your child by name through a story where their size and experience are the whole point — where becoming a big brother or big sister is an arrival of its own, not just an adjustment.
A new sibling book we'd create — Picture a book built around a five-year-old boy named Lucas. In 15 illustrated scenes, Lucas discovers that he already knows everything a baby needs to know — how a bath works, why songs help, which stuffed animals are friendliest. The story ends not with the baby's arrival but with Lucas deciding what kind of big brother he wants to be. That decision belongs entirely to him.

Frequently asked questions
Either timing works, and the choice actually changes what the book does. Before the birth, it gives your boy or girl a story to grow into — a kind of rehearsal. After, it reflects back what they are already becoming. The book doesn't reference a specific date, so it reads as true at any point in those first months.
The book doesn't require her to be happy about it. It simply shows her as capable, loving, and important — which she is, regardless of how complicated her feelings are right now. Stories have a quiet way of offering a child an identity to try on. Whether she embraces big-sister life right away or gets there gradually, the book keeps that door open.
Yes — add the baby's name in the dedication or interests field and we weave it in naturally.
Either. Most parents pick the older child as the main character to help them adjust to the new sibling's arrival.
