Illustrated by
Abigail Halpin.
A young girl prepares for a baby sister. Her first-person observations ("Mama's belly is making her grumpy") and questions ("Will your lap ever come back?") aptly capture pregnancy from a child's point of view. Natural motifs feature in Halpin's illustrations--a mixture of poignant domestic vignettes and serene scenes outside the lakeside home--mirroring the growth and change of this family-in-transition.
