Jetzt ist unser kleines Baby da

A sensitively told children's story about the important topic of family expansion. A lovable main character with high identification potential to prepare and support older siblings. Amelia is getting a little sibling. It’s still cozy in Mama’s big belly, and Amelia can hardly wait for the little one to finally arrive. Amelia's friends from kindergarten, Mama's doctor, as well as Mama and Papa tell Amelia everything she wants to know. And Amelia's curiosity and excitement grow.

Finally, the moment arrives! Mama is having contractions and breathing heavily. Grandma comes to look after Amelia, and Papa takes Mama to the hospital. Then, at last, the little baby is here. Amelia finds it very cute and is happy when she gets to hold it in her arms. But she also notices that the baby cries a lot, drinks, and has dirty diapers... and that Mama and Papa are often tired, meaning Amelia sometimes has to wait until they have time for her.

Fortunately, Amelia is already big enough to play well with her friends and can do much more than a baby. That feels good. Just as good as when Mama and Papa say and show how much they love Amelia. Here, young readers aged 2 and up are given a clear and realistic picture of what it’s like to have a little sibling. It is an exemplary, gently and balanced story that neither raises false expectations nor burdens the excitement and affection for the new sibling.
