Illustrated by
Sophy Williams.
Young Jamie misses his parents while waiting at home for the arrival of his baby sister. Aunt Isabel tells him how she and his uncle had waited for Jamie's own birth years before. Rich in detail, the story intrigues him, distracting him from his loneliness and helping him look forward to meeting the baby. Soft illustrations deftly capture the range of emotions in this reassuring, well-told story.
