Book
Told through the eyes of an oldest child, this comforting picture book gently explores the joys and challenges of being the biggest. When a baby is born, our narrator eagerly embraces her new role as the family's big kid. She helps, teaches and leads the way as she discovers the world with her little sibling. But as the first to start school and with so much still to learn, being the biggest starts to feel tricky - fortunately, Mum is on hand to help. Through playful scenes and moving moments, our narrator learns that sometimes Mum doesn't feel like being the biggest either, but that with love, support and self-compassion, everything is going to be okay.
