  This book is part of a series which tells very young children all about the members of a typical family. It explains to them what it is like to have a younger sibling, and it will also help them to understand the experiences of their own first years. It describes the events in the life of a new baby from birth to about five years old. The story is told in the words of an older child who witnesses each milestone in the life of his little sister. We see the baby shortly after she is born, then learning to smile, talk, and get washed and dressed. Eventually she goes to school with all her friends. Above all, she is seen as part of a family. There is a section for teachers and parents which includes notes on how to use the book with pre-readers and first readers, and suggested discussion points which relate specifically to the illustrations. Roger Coote has written a number of other Firefly titles, including those in the My World and Journeys series.
