Fiona Munro‘s picture board book (with illustrations by Darshika Varma) is perfect for young readers who are finding it difficult to deal with a new baby sibling and gives useful tips for parents who want to help them with that adjustment. Varma‘s illustrations deserve special mention for the inclusivity, including Ruby‘s wheelchair using mum but Munro also gets Ruby‘s emotions spot on and I really felt for her when Ravi snaffled Blue Bear.
