Here are some lovely books to help to have those big conversations with little people.
Whether you are just about to tell your toddler there is a baby on the way or have already welcomed your new bundle of joy, these books will help young children cope with the arrival of a sibling. But be warned, talking to toddlers about new babies can raise some tricky questions about how the baby got into Mummy’s tummy in the first place – so you might also want to check out some books about talking to your toddler about sex too!
