Description

Elmore Green is perfectly content being an only child—until his parents bring home a “new small person” and everything he thought he knew about his place in the family begins to shift. As jealousy, confusion, and big feelings collide with the everyday realities of a baby brother, Elmore tries to keep his new sibling at arm’s length, only to discover that family life doesn’t follow his rules. With humor and heart, this story explores the challenges of change, the meaning of belonging, and how love can grow in unexpected ways. Lauren Child’s distinctive, playful storytelling and vivid character perspective make this a warm, relatable read for children navigating new beginnings.
