Critical Reviews

"A valuable book that makes PPD easier to discuss, showing children they're not alone." Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

Parents know that the first few months of a newborn's life can be a lot of work with lots of ups and downs. But kids are often in the middle of it all too. I'm so glad that Maegan created a book that illustrates this intense time from an older sibling's perspective. Because it's not just the parents going through big things, but the entire family. This book is such a gift for families to connect with each other and talk about some of life's hard things. -Miriam Hathaway
