What Makes It Uncommon

Sisters Forever

Kids sometimes see the arrival of a new baby in the family as a cause for jealousy, but this charming, customized hardcover book can help those new big sisters see how they fit in the picture. Written by Laura Numeroff, author of If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, the book explains all the things a big sister can do for their little siblings. Big sis will be delighted to see her name appear on the cover and throughout the story, along with a special dedication message from you on the front page.

The book is written as if regaling the new sibling with all the loving things the older child will do. This helps to model positive sibling interaction without feeling preachy, and also provides an opportunity for big sisters to share the book once the little one is old enough to enjoy story time.

The pages are warmly illustrated by Lynn Munsinger, with cute tigers, bears, pigs having adventures with their little brothers or sisters. Printed in the USA.

What a wonderful book for little ones.

This book is so cool. I bought it for my niece who is 3. She loves books, and she delights in having "her story" told. Parents were very impressed as well.


Cool Uncles, rejoice!

The book is also very durable, which is perfect for young children who might not be as gentle with books as older children and adults. Overall, "What a Big Sister Does Best" is a fantastic book for any child who is about to become a big sister or for any child who already is a big sister. It is a lovely way to teach children about the responsibilities and joys of being a big sister and to remind them of the special bond they share with their siblings. I highly recommend this book to any parent, grandparent, or "cool uncle" looking for a special gift for a new big sister.


A great book for any big sister

What child wouldn't want to read a story where she is the hero?


Yes, I would buy this product again

She's very into books so every night we read stories to her. The book came in time for. Christmas and made for a lovely gift. Even her name was spelled correctly.


Beautiful book with an important message

Loved it! It's a gorgeous book with a helpful prosocial message for new brothers and sisters!


Great for Big Sister To Be!

The images and activities are generic enough for this book to be great for any kid!


Could use one improvement.....

My granddaughter loves to read to her little brother. The book seemed like a cool way to promote being a big sister while showing her what she should be doing. But, for the expense, I think be better if the younger sibling's name is also included.


Recommend to others for a gift!

I love the illustration, having animals as the characters is such a fun idea! The lessons the book has for the older sibling are great.


Perfect for New Big Sister

I bought this for my niece for Christmas. She will love it!


Best gift for a new addition to the family

Great gift for a friend who has a toddler and is pregnant

Does this book personalize the name of the new baby as well as the older sibling?

Verified reply from Melody

No, only the "big sister" can be personalized.


Can the book be big sister to new little sister only?

Verified reply from Jen

The gender of the younger child doesn't matter. The book is addressed to the older child who is being joined by a brand-new younger sibling of either gender. So you'll want to get the book most appropriate for your older child. If this didn't address your question, our custom orders team are experts on all of our custom items, including this book.

We have two big sisters that are welcoming the third little sister. Can you use two names in the book?

Verified reply from Colleen

Thank you for your question. Being as this book is specialized from one big sister to a younger sibling it can not be formatted for 2 big sisters.


Does this come as a big sister to a little brother? Not two girls

Does this book come for a big sister of a little brother? It seems like it only has sister-to-sister or brother-to-brother options.
