Nobody Told Me It Would Feel Like This: Cleo's journey to becoming a big sister | A Story to Help Kids Adjust to a New Baby - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Do you want to help your daughter adjust to a new baby? Do you want her to feel completely understood through every complicated feeling — the jealousy, the confusion, the guilt of loving someone and resenting them at the same time?

You promised it would be wonderful. You let her help choose the name. You talked about having a best friend for life. And then the baby arrived — crying, sleeping, feeding, crying again — and suddenly your daughter is standing in the middle of a life that changed completely overnight while everyone in the room looks at the baby.

Nobody is asking how she feels.

This new baby big sister children's book finally does.

Nobody Told Me It Would Feel Like This is the new baby adjustment picture book for kids that finally gets it right — not by rushing your daughter toward instant love, not by pretending the new baby jealousy isn't completely real, but by sitting beside her in every complicated feeling and showing her that loving a new baby is something that grows. This children's book about new baby feelings and big sister emotions burns one truth into every child who reads it: big sisters aren't born feeling perfect. They grow into it. In their own time. In their own completely personal way.

Meet Cleo. Five years old. Everyone told her becoming a big sister would be wonderful. Everyone promised she would love the baby. And nobody — absolutely nobody — told her it would feel like this.

Then Pip arrives — a tiny round impossibly warm yellow bird who lands quietly on Cleo's shoulder and says the one thing she actually needed to hear:

"I know. It's okay that this isn't what you expected."

Not "you'll love them soon." Not "just give it time." Just — I know.

Together Pip and Cleo talk honestly about every feeling Cleo has been carrying completely alone — the new baby jealousy, the anger that everything changed without her permission, the confusion of loving someone and resenting them at the same time, and the guilt of feeling any of it at all. Pip gently shows Cleo that every single feeling is allowed. Then slowly, unexpectedly, completely on her own terms — Cleo makes the baby laugh for the very first time. And feels something nobody told her about either.

On the last page Cleo looks directly at your child:

"Nobody told me it would feel like this. But nobody told me about this part either — and this part is the best."
