Illustrated by
Christine Roussey.
The story of a little girl preparing to become a sibling is thoughtfully presented on sturdy pages. From the left side, the "mama's belly" (Mama's face is unseen) grows rounder and flaps reveal a growing baby; the right page shows the sibling-to-be in gleeful anticipation. White backgrounds allow the black lines, simple patterns, and spare colors to pop.
