When Max the puppy hears that a new baby is coming, he’s not sure what to think.
He used to have all the attention, all the toys, and all the cuddles — until tiny Bella arrived.
At first, Max feels forgotten. No one cheers for his tricks or tosses his favorite ball.
But as he watches over Bella, something amazing happens — he discovers that being a big brother isn’t about losing love… it’s about sharing it.
Through sweet moments, gentle lessons, and warm illustrations, Max and the New Baby helps children understand:
- 💕 That love doesn’t shrink when a new sibling arrives — it grows.
- 🍼 How to handle big feelings like jealousy and change.
- 🐶 The joy of helping, caring, and becoming a “big brother” (or sister).
Perfect for families expecting a new baby or introducing a sibling, this heartwarming picture book reassures little ones that there’s always enough love to go around.
Ideal for ages: 3–7
Themes: Family, empathy, new sibling adjustment, sharing love
