어린이 성교육의 베스트셀러인 "It's So Amazing!"과 "It's Perfectly Normal"을 함께 만든 Robie H. Harris(글)과 Michael Emberley(그림) 팀이 전작인 Happy Birth Day!에서 아기의 탄생의 신비와 기쁨을 엄마의 입장에서 보여준데 이어, 이 책에서는 새로운 동생을 맞이하게 된 아이의 감정변화를 아빠가 화자가 되어 섬세하게 보여줍니다.
집안의 유일한 귀염둥이였지만 이제는 새로운 동생이 생겨서 졸지에 아기에서 누나가 된 꼬마 소녀는 아기에 대한 자신의 감정을 추스리기 어렵습니다. 부모의 사랑과 관심을 끌고 싶어하기도 하고, 아기에 대해 질투의 감정이 생기기도 하며, 항상 울기만 하는 아기를 귀찮아 하기도 합니다. 아기의 모자를 자신이 뒤집어 쓰고는 자기도 아기라고 우기기도 합니다만, 아기가 기저귀에 응아를 하거나 이빨이 없는 모습을 보고는 자기가 아기와 어떻게 다른지 깨닫기도 하지요. "Hi Baby" 조용하게 인사를 하자 아기는 울음을 그치고 자신을 바라봅니다. 그리고 아기를 자신의 무릎 위에 올리고서 두 팔로 꼭 껴안고는 코에 뽀뽀를 해주자 아기는 눈을 감고 잠이 듭니다. 소녀는 자기가 이제는 Big Sister가 되었다는 것을, 그리고 아기는 가족의 소중한 일원이 되었다는 것을 깨닫게 되지요...

표지가 두꺼운 판지나 보드지가 아닌 비교적 얇은 종이를 사용해서 만든 책이며, 실박음질 대신에 풀로 제본처리하는 경우가 많습니다. 일반적으로 하드커버나 보드북에 비해서 가격이 저렴합니다. 소프트커버로 불리우기도 합니다. 책의 이음새 부분이 접히거나 휘는 내구성이 그리 좋지는 않은 책입니다.

Book Descriptiom
With enormous warmth and empathy, the acclaimed and award-winning team of "It's So Amazing!" and "It's Perfectly Normal, " tells the universal story of a young child who, suddenly, is no longer the baby.
Publishers Weekly
Reprising the family first introduced in Happy Birth Day!, Harris and Emberley return with another sensitive and visually sumptuous portrayal of a domestic milestone: the arrival of a second child. This time it's the father who narrates, as he tells the book's heroine, an unnamed preschooler, about how she reacted to her rumpled-faced brother's arrival. Initially, the big sister thinks he is "too noisy" and "boring." But then she realizes that by comparison, she is downright mature ("That baby doesn't have any teeth! I have so-ooo many teeth. And I can brush all my teeth. That baby can't!"). Working in full-bleed spreads in glowing peach tones, Emberley creates warm, intimate pictures (the audience is often just beyond the characters' noses); by frequently framing the action at the girl's eye level, he captures the full force of her stormy emotions. By the final page, the girl is sufficiently won over, enough to say "Hi new baby," rock her brother and even savor the deliciousness of new-baby smell. A sympathetic, credible approach to a reluctant sibling's plight.
Children's Literature
The story is based on the author's own experience with her older child meeting the new sibling. Harris tells the story in first person, starting with--"I'll never ever forget the moment you met your new baby brother." The pages following describe the reactions of the older child while adjusting to the new situation. The parents, who are understanding of the emotional turbulences experienced by the older child, respond with love and reassurance. The story is really put to life by softly colored, double-page illustrations throughout the book. Impressive portraits capture the complexity of emotions endured by the child, who is upset when the baby cries, angry not to be the baby any longer and disappointed that the baby is boring. The portraits, with their intensive facial expressions, may seem a bit overwhelming due to the large-size edition of the book. This is a good book for children who experience difficulties in accepting a new sibling or who have not been prepared well for the big event. Children who do not find their new sibling icky, yucky, sooo boring, and too noisy, might not relate that well to the story, especially since it is written in first person.
School Library Journal
Another book that examines the emotional turmoil of an older sibling when a new baby is brought into the family. A father reminisces about his daughter's struggle to accept her new brother. He spits, cries, pees in a diaper, and doesn't have any teeth. Finally, after a stream of whining, the girl claims, "I'm way bigger than he is!" and is then told, "You're even big enough to hold the baby." As she rocks him to sleep, she kisses him and finally drifts off as well; the siblings are a harmonious pair at last. The stiff narration is at times awkward with a confusing jumble of pronouns: "`Here's my baby!' you told Mommy, as you held up your furry stuffed bear. `I like your furry baby!' she said. `Do you like your baby?' you asked. `We love the new baby,' she said." However, the large, close-up illustrations are warm, soft, and loving. They display the child's skepticism as well as her need to continue to be the center of attention. It is the overriding calmness of the oil-pastel double-page spreads that makes the mundane text that much more jarring. Though this book has a lot going for it (the child's connection to her father, his sense of love for her even as she struggles, the illustrations with their heartfelt intimacy), it is ultimately disappointing. |
