Pecan Pie Baby
Jacqueline Woodson
Sophie Blackall (illustrator)
2010 Hardback/ 2013 Paperback
Gia is anxiously waiting the arrival of a new sibling but it is an uneasy time for her. She is not sure how the change is going to effect her life and her relationship with her mother. Her mother helps her through the transition and awaiting of the new baby.
As the oldest child, I understand how Gia felt. I was 5 when my brother was born. I don't remember worrying but I do remember thinking how things may be different when my brother arrived. I think this would be an excellent book to read to siblings awaiting a new arrival. It would help them see that it is a change but how to deal with the change in a positive manner.
