New Baby Surprise for Super Big Sister tells the story of Lulu the Little, who’s facing some big feelings about the even bigger change coming her way. A new baby in the family! She’s overwhelmed, unsure, even a little jealous. But her big brother Super Sam steps in, cape and all, to gently guide her through her emotions. He shows her how to be a “Super Big Sister,” helping her see that she can still be loved and be helpful, brave, and important in this brand new family setup.

As a mom of two this picture book hit close to home. When Lulu asks, “Will Mommy and Daddy forget about me?” Ugh. That line cracked my heart right open. It’s exactly the kind of fear kids don’t always say out loud but definitely feel. And I absolutely adored how Sam handled it. He didn’t dismiss her feelings, he leaned in. He gave her his cape and walked her through what being a big sibling really means.

The writing is catchy, with rhymes that are easy and fun to read aloud. And again, the illustrations are so colorful and inviting. My daughter loved spotting “Cuddles” the teddy bear hiding in every scene. Plus, the activity pages at the end are a great bonus. We sat down together afterward and named baby items and did the word search. It made the book feel like more than just a read. It was a whole little bonding moment.

I’d say this children’s book is a must if you’ve got a little one about to become a big sibling. Especially if they’re on the fence about the whole baby thing. It opens the door for honest chats and big hugs. It’s gentle, reassuring, and full of heart.
