Description


Help your child celebrate the wonder and excitement of waiting for a new sibling to arrive in Hello in There!: A Big Sister’s Book of Waiting,a charming picture book from author Jo Witek and illustrator Christine Roussey, the New York Times bestselling creators of In My Heart.
 
Part of the Growing Hearts series!
 
A sister-to-be is so eager to step into her role that she’s starting early! She sticks close to her mama so she can sing songs to her sibling-to-be (loudly, of course) and explain all the great things waiting in the outside world (Cupcakes! Strawberries! Swimming!).
 
With quaint line drawings, lovely patterns, and a variety of playful flaps showing the new baby blissfully tucked away in its mama’s belly, this interactive picture book is a joyful and celebratory ode to a growing family and the perfect gift for any big-sibling-to-be.
 
Be warned, your child may want you to read this to her at bedtime every night before the baby arrives. When they learn to open the flaps to find the baby, you might hear, “Read it again! Read it again!”
 
The Growing Hearts series celebrates the milestones of a toddler’s emotional development, from conquering fears and expressing feelings to welcoming a new sibling.
 
“Roussey’s whimsical, scraggly, illustrations are perfectly suited to the girl’s excitement.” ―Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)
 
“Made to withstand many eager perusals as big sisters and brothers everywhere gear up for their own big days.” ―Kirkus Reviews
