While this Australian import describes a home birth, its focus on warmth and safety should comfort any child expecting a new sibling. Art and text convey emotion and action, and details in both concentrate on young Jack's point of view as he tells how he and his sisters, dad, and aunt are there as the midwife helps Mum deliver a healthy baby boy.
