A beautiful story about the joy, excitement and anxieties of becoming a big sister. Sona is part of a big family and I loved how the story keeps with the traditions of family. It’s a great book to help children understand the changes that a new brother or sister will bring and I loved the the approach, it’s got some beautiful illustrations as well, a really entertaining story with an important message .

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for a free copy for an honest opinion

This lovely, heart-felt children's book is about Sona, and her becoming a big sister. Naturally she has anxieties about this big life change that is pending and this book expresses them in a child-friendly way.

This book has wonderful answers to many questions a child may be thinking and worrying about, when a new sibling is on its way. I absolutely loved the way they referenced new stars being born every day in the sky and how the other stars welcome them.

Sona is part of a big family dynamic and the book keeps with the traditions of her family. I love the diversity and the approach to the subject. I think it will be very beneficial in helping children understand and welcome the changes that a new baby brings, and is the perfect way to help support their emotional needs.

The book has some lovely illustrations that I think children will enjoy. The children will be able to relate to some of the family-based scenes and they compliment the story perfectly.

Overall, this is a great addition to a childs bookshelf. Its a lovely story a child can read and enjoy, even without a new sibling being on the way. With its beautiful illustrations and easy, short chapters, it is sure to provide young readers with plenty to keep them entertained.
