The New Baby – An Activity Book for Siblings

The New Baby: An Activity Book for Soon-to-be Big Brothers and Sisters paperback (Cicada Books, RRP £9.95) is a an activity book for siblings to help introduce them to the idea of a new baby. It’s beautifully illustrated by Lie Dirkx, with bright Pantone colours and a vintage aesthetic but also very contemporary (and yes, I know that’s a bit of a contradiction!). Activities include thinking up names for baby by looking at animals and the names of their young, filling in a family tree (which all of you with extended families will be pleased to hear isn’t linear, it’s fluid so you can fit half- and step-siblings in easily), clothing, holding, feeding, talking about likes and dislikes, seasons and much more. This is the perfect gift for a soon-to-be brother and sister, and you style-conscious parents will happily add it to the memory box once complete.
