If only I had this when I was bringing home my babies.” ―Kristen Chase, CEO/Publisher, CoolMomPicks.com“I can’t think of a better book for a soon-to-be big brother or big sister. This journal is a wonderful way for a child to prepare for the complex experience of welcoming a younger sibling into the family. I only wish I’d been able to give my first daughter a copy of Welcome to the Family before she became a big sister.” ― Susan Carraretto of 5minutesformom.com“Welcome to the Family! is the journal I wish I had for my first daughter when I was pregnant with my second.
