Overview / 简介: |
A new baby is coming and Stephanie Squirrel is worried. She clings to her doll, Rosie, and asks where the new baby will sleep. In our room for a while, then the baby will share your room, her mommy tells her. Little Stephanie is dismayed. A new baby will want all of her things, and all of Mommy's love, too! Stephanie doesn't want to share her food, her toys-and especially not her mommy's love.
But Mommy explains that her heart has a special room for everyone. It has rooms for Mommy's parents, brothers, and sister. It has rooms for Daddy and their pet dog, Buster. And it has a room for Stephanie, too. There will be another room for the new baby, but the room in Mommy's heart for Stephanie will not be smaller. Mommy's heart is a magic house, with love enough for all.
This lovely new-baby book will comfort and reassure older siblings.

From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
| PreSchool-K—Stephanie, a young squirrel-like creature, is concerned about the impending birth of a sibling. She doesn't want to share her room, toys, or food. But mostly she's worried that Mom might not still love her after the baby arrives. Mom consoles her by saying "…my heart is a magic house, filled with many rooms." When someone new comes along, you just add another room. Pons takes this literally and shows the standard Valentine-shaped heart inside a house with many family-filled windows. Brightly colored illustrations show a cozy, cluttered home and a warm, reassuring relationship between the pregnant mom and her child. Like most getting-a-new-sibling books, this one ends happily with Stephanie ready to build a room in her heart for the new baby and maybe share a toy or two. If you need another title in the genre, this one will work nicely.—Ieva Bates, Ann Arbor District Library, MI

Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| I wish this book had been around when I was a little girl!
I am the fourth child in a sixth child family who was petrified to ask my parents if there was space in their hearts for me. I was more in the "pray, don't ask!" space because I didn't see how their hearts could POSSIBLY hold me along with everyone and everything else.
My fears would have been squelched through author Julie Jacobs beautiful and gentle approach to quieting the childhood fear of being displanced by "the baby". Through the metaphor of a heart with many rooms, we can visually "get" how the rooms in the heart expand according to whomever we welcome into our life. The rooms can expand, magically - and the Mom in the story carefully illustrates how her heart-rooms have changed over time.
Even small children will understand - and then will be able to explain to other children who are concerned.
Highly recommended. |
