What This Book Is About

When Elizabeth found out that her mum is having a baby, she became excited at the thought of being a big sister! But she had questions, too. As she sees the entire family getting ready for the baby, she slowly learns about how the baby is developing inside her mum.

The book shares the journey of how a baby develops. It talks about:

  • Monthly milestones while the baby is inside the uterus
  • The different parts of the body involved in making and growing the baby
  • How a baby is made but does not include IVF

Reflection and Comments

From the way Elizabeth tells the story to the colourful watercolour illustrations, this book engages its target readers and helps children understand the anticipation of having a new baby.

 Instead of simply going through the baby’s development, it also talks about reproduction and the human anatomy and uses the right terms.
