A baby is a miracle! However, an older brother or sister might view
the new arrival with mixed feelings. This list has a sampling of the
books which can be found in the youth Department. They discuss babies;
their growth and development, and their place in the family in ways that are
reassuring to children and parents. Some books are factual, others are
stories, and a few videos: they all help prepare
a warm welcome for a baby.
