The Adventures of Ellie and Eve Ellie Meets the New Baby

It is important for parents to communicate with their older children to help them adapt and ad- just to a new sibling. Caring for and nurturing the older sibling is just as important as caring for the new baby. In the Childrens book Ellie Meets the New Baby Ellie struggles with embracing her new sister. As Mom and Dad encourage Ellie and communicate the babys needs to her Ellie starts to learn and enjoy being a big sister. The author incorporates an inclusive depiction of a multi-cultural family which allows readers to identify with characters who may seem a little different-or who simply have a different kind of family-but are basically the same. This book also incorporates discussion questions and learning activities to support parents in communicating with their children.
