Waiting for You
One complete keepsake story, illustrated on every spread: Theo whispers hello to the baby bump, gasps at the very first little kick, chooses the softest blanket in the whole house, gets the tiny new room ready with Dad, learns to fill the long grumpy 'not yet' up with pancakes and pictures, and finally holds his baby sister at last — wrapped in the very blanket he chose. The story closes with a Cuddle-Up Corner, gentle questions to talk about together, and one tiny real-world challenge to try — the warm read-aloud that helps the lesson settle in, night after night.
“Love grows bigger long before the baby ever arrives.”
Theo is 4 in this story. A bespectacled four-year-old counting down the days until he becomes a big brother. When you make it yours, the hero becomes your child — same name, same face, same big heart — illustrated to look just like them on every single page.
