Join Alfie as he waits impatiently for his new sibling to arrive in this charming and funny picture book about the baby growth process — which includes an illustrated baby growth chart on the back of the book jacket! Alfie has a new sibling on the way, and he can't wait to meet them! Follow Alfie and his enthusiastic narration all the way from six weeks, when his sibling is just a tiny lemon pip, to their highly anticipated welcome to the world at forty weeks when they're a big pumpkin! This funny and informative picture book follows the growth stages of a baby (with helpful fruit and vegetable comparisons!) and teaches how to be a good big sibling to a new baby. "Hutchings has crafted a strong conversation starter for prospective big siblings; grown-ups will likely find guidance here, too, as they direct little ones to consider how Alfie might be feeling in a given situation — and how they in turn feel. . . . A seriously sweet story and resource for adults to share with soon-to-be big siblings." — Kirkus Reviews MAGGIE HUTCHINGS is a counselor, family-dispute mediator, writer and artist.
