New Sibling Stories

Big feelings for big brothers and sisters

New sibling stories for the season when the family grows and the older kid shrinks a little inside: the baby who stole the lap, the big sister in charge of silly faces, the big brother with a dinosaur welcome plan. Stories that say the jealousy is normal - and that being big is a superpower.

Read them free online before or after the baby arrives, or create a personalized story where your older child is the hero of the welcome. This collection is part of our stories about emotions.

Frequently asked questions

When should we start reading these?

During pregnancy is ideal - the older child rehearses the change before it happens. They help just as much in the intense first weeks after the birth.

My child says they hate the baby. Is that covered?

Yes, head-on: the stories name the jealousy without judging it, and show the path from resentment to pride at their own pace.

Is a personalized version worth it here?

Especially here: a story where YOUR child is the big sibling hero, with the real babys name, is often the gift that unlocks the adjustment.
