(4) K-3 When his baby brother is born very prematurely, a young boy goes through a range of emotions. The narrator's statements can be uncomfortable to read ("I wish the baby would die") but attempt to be true to a child-centric interpretation of the stress. Childlike drawings, presented in scrapbook format, chronicle the family's journey, from fearful early days through the happy homecoming.
