Hannah Is a Big Sister

In Barron's top-selling The Potty Book for Girls, renowned children's author Allyson Satin Capucilli, introduces us to Hannah as she graduates from diapers to potty. Now, Capucilli returns with a new adventure for Hannah; she's getting a new brother or sister!


Having a new baby in the house brings about a range of emotions in an older sibling, from excitement to joy to jealousy. In Hannah is a Big Siser, Capucilli and Stott employ straightforward text and eye-catching illustration to explore all of these feeling through a child's eyes. Starting on the big day when the baby arrives home from the hospital, Hannah will hold the tiny new bundle, count fingers and toes, try to figure out why the baby is crying, help with diapers and bath time, and anticipate teaching her new sibling all sorts of things--like using the potty when the time comes. Waiting until the baby is old enough to play is a big factor for young children; so here Hannah will also learn the importance of being patient.
