A Big Sister Book All About Her
Being a big sister is exciting, and sometimes complicated. Will her little sibling wreck her tower? Borrow her things? Get all the attention? Kids work through questions like these in stories far better than in lectures.
This story answers them the way children understand best: by showing your daughter herself, right there on the page, learning that a big sister is a helper, a protector, and her sibling's very first best friend. A big sister book where she's the main character helps her feel proud of the role instead of threatened by it.
In "The Loudest House", every grown-up in the family tries to settle the crying newborn and every one of them fails. Your daughter is the one who works it out. Read it together at bedtime and watch the pride sink in. Many families tell us it becomes the most requested book in the house.
Made for Every New Big Sister
Whether your big sister is 2, 5, or 8, there's a story written for her age. And because the illustrations show her (her curls, her glasses, her favorite grin), even children too young to read stay glued to every page.
Little Big Sister
Short, warm sentences and big beautiful pictures. She can't read yet, but she'll squeal the moment she spots her own face.
The Helper Years
The perfect age for a story about sharing, helping, and being gentle, starring a heroine she already adores: herself.
Reads It Herself
Richer stories she can follow word by word, and soon read aloud to her little sibling. That's the moment you'll want on video.
Her family is in the story too: Mom and Dad appear alongside her in "The Loudest House", each illustrated from their own photo.
A Keepsake Gift for Her Starring Role
She won't be this age forever. Her big sister book captures exactly who she is right now: her face, her age, and her starring role in the family.
Printed as a premium hardcover made to survive hundreds of bedtime readings, it's a favorite gift from parents, grandparents, aunts, and friends for birthdays, holidays, and big-sister milestones.
Books to Prepare a Toddler for a New Baby
Parents ask us how to help a child adjust to a new sibling more than anything else, and reading is one of the few answers that genuinely works. Books about becoming a big sister do most of that heavy lifting. Timing matters more than most parents expect, so here's when to reach for one.
While the baby is on the way
Start weeks ahead. Reading about becoming a big sister during the pregnancy gives a toddler time to get used to the idea instead of meeting it on the day.
When the baby arrives
This is the moment her own book earns its keep. Every visitor is looking at the newborn, and she gets handed something with her name on the cover.
When the jealousy shows up
It usually lands a few weeks in, as clinginess or tantrums. Reading her story again reminds her she's still the hero, which is how a child adjusts to a new sibling.

What Parents Say
“My daughter carries her big sister book everywhere and reads it to her little brother every night. She is SO proud of being the big sister.”
“We gave it to Ava for her birthday. She now reads HER book to her little brother every single night. I cry a little every time.”
“My granddaughter carries it everywhere and tells strangers she's in a book. Best big sister gift we could have found.”
A Gift for a New Big Sister That Actually Means Something
Walk into any kids' store and the gifts blur together: dolls, crafts, plastic everything. A personalized big sister book is the rare one with her name and her face in it, illustrated from your daughter's own photo. It's a keepsake that says you're the hero of this story, which is more than most new sibling gifts manage.
It's also the easiest answer to "what do we get her when the baby arrives?". Hand it over at the hospital, sign it from the newborn so it reads as a big sister gift from the new baby, or save it for the first week home when the visitors have gone. Of all the new big sister gift ideas we hear from parents, the one they come back to is the book she can hold up and say that's me.
As big sibling gifts go, it also ages well. A year on, a new big sister book with her own face in it is still being pulled off the shelf, which is more than we can say for the "promoted to big sister" t-shirt she outgrew by autumn.
Give it for her birthday, for the holidays, or just because. The premium hardcover costs $34.99, you approve every page before it prints, and it arrives in 7–11 business days. Shopping for a boy? There's a personalized big brother book too.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this like the "I'm a Big Sister" book?
Same idea, one big difference: classic "I'm a Big Sister" books star a generic child, while this one stars your daughter. Her face, her name, her story about becoming a big sister, illustrated from a photo you upload.
Can a book help prepare a toddler for a new sibling?
It is one of the few things that reliably does. Toddlers rehearse big changes through stories long before they can discuss them, so books to prepare a toddler for a new baby work best when you start weeks ahead and read them often. A personalized one goes further: instead of watching a stranger become a big sister, she watches herself do it, which is how a two year old actually learns that the new baby is an addition and not a replacement.
What makes a good gift for a new big sister?
Something that is unmistakably hers, on a day when everything else in the house belongs to the newborn. That is why a personalized book beats most new big sister gift ideas: her name is on the cover, her face is on every page, and it keeps working long after a toy has been abandoned. It also travels well as a big sister announcement book when you break the news that a baby is coming.
Can it be a gift from the new baby?
That's one of our favorite ways to give it. Sign the dedication page from her new little brother or sister ("To the best big sister, love from the baby") and hand it over at the hospital or when the baby comes home. It gives her something that's just hers on a day when everything is about the newborn.
Which story is the big sister book?
"The Loudest House" was written for exactly this moment: the new baby comes home, the house is never quiet again, and Mom, Dad and even the dog try everything to settle the newcomer. Nothing works until the new big sister sings a silly sock puppet song that nobody else knows the words to. She is the one who fixes it.
Can the rest of the family be in the story too?
Yes. "The Loudest House" stars your daughter alongside Mom and Dad, each illustrated from their own photo. If you would rather see her side by side with an older or younger sibling on an adventure, "Stuck Together" sends the two of them into a world of living dinosaurs instead.
What ages is this big sister book for?
It works beautifully from about age 2 to 8. Stories are grouped by age, so the reading level, length, and themes match your daughter: gentle, simple tales for toddlers, a little more adventure for preschoolers and early readers.
How long does delivery take?
Your digital preview is ready in minutes, and printed books ship within 7–11 business days. Order about two weeks ahead of any big occasion. Rush shipping is available at checkout if the countdown is already on.
What if I don't like the book?
You review every single page before it prints: edit the text, regenerate any illustration, make it perfect. And if you're still not thrilled, our 100% satisfaction guarantee means we'll reprint it or refund you.
Can I write my own dedication?
Absolutely. The dedication page is yours to write. Tell her how proud you are, or sign it from her little sibling: "To the best big sister in the whole world. Love, your little brother." It's one of the most popular (and most tear-inducing) touches.
Is my child's photo safe?
Your photos are used solely to create the illustrations in your book. We never sell them or share them with third parties.
