Help your little one feel included, excited, and ready for the biggest family news of all — a new baby on the way!

Waiting for Baby is a warm and reassuring board book that captures all the questions, excitement, and mixed emotions a young child feels when a new sibling is coming. Part of a series of four board books, it follows the anticipation of waiting for the new arrival — from sorting out tiny clothes and toys to finding a place to sleep — right through to the special bond that begins to form between siblings. With simple, conversational text and lively illustrations, it's the perfect book to share with toddlers and young children who are about to become a big brother or big sister.

Gentle Emotional Support: Thoughtfully written to acknowledge that welcoming a new baby can feel both exciting and confusing for young children, helping them feel seen and understood.
Sparks Conversation: The simple, dialogue-style text is carefully designed to encourage further discussion between reader and child, making it a wonderful read-aloud experience.
Part of a Series: One of four board books covering the journey from anticipation to arrival to the blossoming sibling relationship — collect them all to guide your child through every step.
Perfect for Little Hands: Sturdy board book format is ideal for toddlers and young children, designed to be returned to again and again as the family milestone approaches.
