It is important for parents to communicate with their older children to help them adapt and ad- just to a new sibling.
Caring for and nurturing the older sibling is just as important as caring for the new baby.
In the Children's book Ellie Meets the New Baby , Ellie struggles with embracing her new sister.
As Mom and Dad encourage Ellie and communicate the baby's needs to her, Ellie starts to learn and enjoy being a big sister.
The author incorporates an inclusive depiction of a multi-cultural family, which allows readers to identify with characters who may seem a little different-or who simply have a different kind of family-but are basically the same.
This book also incorporates discussion questions and learning activities to support parents in communicating with their children.
