A story about the moment your family grew.
A Whimbel new sibling book tells the real story of the day your child became a big brother or sister — personalized illustrations from one photo, with a narrative that makes them the hero.
Becoming a big brother or sister is one of the most transformative moments in a child's life. Instead of a generic template book, give them a real story — their story — about the day the family grew by one tiny, perfect person.
The look on their face when they first held their baby sibling. The gentle pat, the whispered hello. Don't let that moment live only in your camera roll.
“Books that feature the child as the protagonist in a real family transition help them rehearse and process the change in a safe, predictable format.”
