A young girl describes her new role as "big sister" in this simple book based on the assertion that, "A caring family has plenty of love to go around!" The narrator explains that the new baby is too little to walk, to talk, or to play with toys. The baby is so little it cannot eat pizza or apples or ice cream. The baby likes to drink milk and sleep and, sometimes, look at big sister. Daddy explains that a baby's crying means it needs something—like a diaper change or a bottle—and he invites the sister to help. The parents share baby pictures of the older sibling reminding her that she was once little. They talk about things she can do now that she is big. She knows that her parents love her and she is uniquely herself. An ending "Note to Parents" provides advice about helping a child adapt to an added family member. The colorful full page illustrations depict a loving family group. Reviewer: Phyllis Kennemer, Ph.D.
