“As of now
And for always,
You’ll both be
Each other’s base
Life is better
With a best friend,
For home is a person
And not just a place.” – 3.5/5 stars!

“A book so tender and sweet . . . readers will feel the love as they read the beautiful rhyming prose.” — San Francisco Book Review “Lyrical . . . gorgeous . . . It introduced an element of enchantment I didn’t realize I’d forgotten.” — Robin Goodfellow, BookSirens

How much love can a heart hold? As parents, can we provide the same unconditional love to a new family member? Siblings might wonder, Is there enough love to go around? With compassionate words and sweet illustrations, this book addresses the uncertainty children may feel when confronted with a new brother or sister and changing family dynamics. It provides reassurance that they will always be cherished and helps cultivate their joy in welcoming a new best friend.

“My love for you can never be less,
for the heart expands like a flourishing tree;
no matter how big our family gets,
you’ll always be loved as deeply by me.”

This short book was so cute and sweet! This is a wholesome children’s book that talks about love and welcoming new siblings through lyrical poetry – and is paired with beautiful illustrations!
I was so happy when I saw the illustrations thinking it was original work – but then I read in the beginning of the book that they’re from Canva. I wish this had original art because it would make this book more special, but with that said: I still think the book is put together very nicely!
And I know this is a children’s book, but reading this as a grown woman made me think a lot about my older sister and how much I love her. I believe she was one of those kids that struggled a little with having a new younger sibling, but her love for me was quick to come since the day she first saw me and we’ve had a close bond since then. She’s a blessing in my life and I can’t imagine my life without her!

This would be the perfect gift for an older sibling (child) that is preparing to welcome a new sibling in the family. Still, I would probably recommend this book to older children (probably above 6 /7) since this has a lot of big words most children wouldn’t understand.

A big thank you to BookSirens for the free ARC in exchange for an honest review.
