Description As if it fell straight out of the sky, my little sibling suddenly appeared one day. Now I have to share everything—food, toys, even my family's love? ▶ About This Book Still, sometimes my little sibling is pretty great. Look at the cover: a child glaring with a face full of frustration, staring at something nearby—a newborn baby, wrapped snugly in a blanket. That baby seems to have appeared out of nowhere, as if dropped off by a spaceship, with no explanation at all. So how must it feel for an older brother or sister who suddenly has to accept this new little person into their life? When a baby sibling arrives, parents no longer have as much time or energy to devote to their older child. The younger one, who needs more care, naturally comes first, and parents often get swept up in the joy of a new baby's antics. In a way, the firstborn grows up the moment a sibling is born—no matter their age. So it's no wonder the older child doesn't have warm feelings toward this unexpected disruption to their life. That's exactly how the main character in this book feels. All the good food goes to the baby. Being the older one means always giving in. The baby gets all the hugs. And somehow, whenever they fight, only the older sibling gets scolded. But one day, an opportunity arises for the siblings to grow closer. When the older child gets into a scuffle with the neighborhood bully, the baby sibling bites the bully's arm hard, coming to the rescue! From that moment on, the baby seems to have sworn loyalty to their big sibling. And the older one, in turn, grudgingly gives a bit of credit—even putting an arm around the baby's shoulder for the very first time. Later, back home, the older sibling gets scolded by Mom, but bears it with surprising maturity, thinking, "Well, that's what big siblings do." And now, playing with the baby sibling once in a while doesn't seem so bad after all. Throughout the story, the older sibling's narration comes across as though they're graciously tolerating the situation, almost proud of how maturely they're handling it. But look closely at the illustrations—the older sibling's true feelings melt away in an instant. Unlike the sulky expression on the cover, we see warm eye contact, an affectionate arm around the shoulder, and even while standing in timeout with hands raised, a secret smile shared only between the two siblings. Despite what the words say, the pictures reveal what children truly feel deep down. Adult readers will likely smile at the narrator's endearing way of putting things, while young readers will relate to the outward complaints in the text and the true feelings hidden in the pictures. A sibling may be the closest little rival—but also, undeniably, the most fun playmate a child could ask for. Kids come to realize it themselves: sometimes, and often more than they'd like to admit, they really do love their little sibling! The final scene, where the two children fall asleep snuggled together, is especially heartwarming. We can easily imagine what tomorrow might bring for these siblings: the older one will surely get annoyed and jealous again soon. But there will also be more moments of laughter, eye contact, and rolling around together on the bedroom floor. This delightful picture book captures the fickle, ever-changing feelings between siblings—loving one moment, exasperated the next—while also showing the deep bond that ties them together. It naturally helps children process the everyday stress of sibling relationships in a lighthearted way. The bold, honest text and illustrations by this debut author-illustrator capture these emotions beautifully and simply. It's also delightfully funny to see both siblings sporting the same watermelon-style haircut—an unmistakable sign that they truly are family. While the story is told from the older sibling's point of view, the baby's feelings are subtly revealed throughout as well. It's easy to feel for the baby sibling, tagging along to the playground without their parents, trying so hard to get closer to a big sibling who doesn't want them around—even though it's not the baby's fault at all. After all, wanting closeness with a big sibling is simply how a baby sibling feels too. ▶ Story Summary The day Mom's belly became flat again, my baby sibling suddenly arrived—without even asking my permission! Now Mom and Dad don't pay much attention to me anymore, so I've decided to just play with my dog, Mungchi, instead. When it was just me, the house used to be so quiet, but now my sibling is way too loud. And they eat so much that apparently all the yummy food is theirs now. I can't even remember the last time Dad picked me up and held me, and whenever we fight, somehow I'm always the one who gets in trouble. Now Mom keeps telling me to look after my little sibling, and honestly, it's so annoying. One day, I had no choice but to take them along to the playground, and I was too busy playing with my friends to pay attention. But then, in the neighborhood…
