A heartfelt and funny story told in the unique voice of a newborn baby who does NOT like a lot of things, but who does love his older sibling!
When a crinkled screaming baby is born, everything is new and overwhelming, and they do NOT like it. But Small Big One – a young sibling – knows exactly how to turn tears into laughter, and fear into fun. As the newborn grows, so does their bond with Small Big One. But what will happen when a new crinkled screaming baby arrives? From the very first cry in a bright white hospital room to tender moments spent together, this is a true celebration of the bond between siblings and the power of love.
