A young boy narrates a straightforward account of the final weeks of his mother's pregnancy and the first days with his newborn sister. The text covers the basics, from fetal growth to breast-feeding to baby bathing and dressing, while managing to convey the boy's excitement. Although the spindly typeface is a strain on the eyes, the rounded, cheery illustrations create a warm atmosphere.
