Illustrated by
Nicole Rutten.
Fluctuating between excited anticipation and flat-out anxiety about her new sibling's birth, hamster Rose imagines what life will be like as a big sister. When baby Luke finally arrives, Rose, accompanied by her grandparents, gets to greet him at the hospital. Cozy watercolor and pencil illustrations portray a loving home and comfortable hospital setting in this satisfying sibling tale.
