A new baby has arrived, and everything at home feels different.. Read it together, at your pace. Every page is written in your child's voice.
1. A new baby has come to our family. The house feels different now.
2. Babies are loud and busy. They cry at night. They need grown-ups a lot.
Crying at odd hours, baby smells, visitors coming and going.
3. I might have many feelings at once. Excited. Curious. Maybe jealous or left out. Every one of those feelings is okay.
4. Babies cry a lot, and they cannot tell us why.
Why is the baby crying?
The baby is hungry.
The baby is tired and fighting sleep.
The baby needs a diaper change.
We do not have enough information to know.
💡 Crying is the only word babies have. There are many possible reasons, and grown-ups figure it out by trying.
5. Grown-up attention looks different right now, but love does not shrink. There is enough love for the baby and for me. Both.
6. When my feelings get big, I have choices.

7. I can ask for what I want with the baby, too.
8. The loud baby days do not last forever. Babies grow into kids who laugh and play. And I will always, always be me, with my own place in this family.
In the app, your child can choose what happens next, rehearse lines out loud with Spark, and try different endings — including hearing a kind "no" and being celebrated for respecting it. Parents can also create fully personalized stories.
