Welcome to the Family!

“Welcome to the Family! is the journal I wish I had for my first daughter when I was pregnant with my second. This lovely, colorful keepsake inspires creativity and issues gentle prompts to help kids connect to different emotions and the reality of the upcoming changing family dynamic as they anticipate–then experience–the arrival of a new sibling. As I read through the prompts I repeatedly found myself wishing I knew what my older daughter would have written about her sibling!” –Christine Koh, Author of Minimalist Parenting and Co-Host of the Edit Your Life Podcast“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“Such a thoughtful gift for any soon-to-be big brother or sister, that’s sure to be treasured always. If only I had this when I was bringing home my babies.” –Kristen Chase, CEO/Publisher, CoolMomPicks.com“What a cute way to introduce a new sibling [that’s] coming soon. I love that the journal encourages kids to write down their feelings and gives them a way to feel included in this new phase of life.” –Melissa Garcia, ConsumerQueen.com
