Welcome Baby Wigglet by A.M. Berkowitz is a story about a family of three: Papa, Mama and Gigglet, who are expecting a new baby.
This story subtly paints a picture that reflects moral values and the importance of slowly introducing a new sibling to the first born. It is a period of transition for the whole family and Berkowitz skillfully navigates her characters through this journey, ensuring that Gigglet feels as much excited to meet her baby brother as her Papa and Mama. What makes it even more wholesome is the manner in which the author portrays the development of Gigglet’s sense of pride and responsibility for her younger brother. Using a narrative voice that would instantly resonate with any young reader, the author further simplifies the dialogues to create an engaging experience.
Children can be sensitive to changes in family dynamics. They often tend to feel insecure and left out when parents have another baby. They might feel threatened that their parents’ attention will become divided and that this new member will eventually take away their share of love too. That’s why it is so important to reassure them and create an inclusive environment where they can participate in the process themselves.
While this story has a relatively short plot, it is filled with warmth and understanding. There are several colorful illustrations which add to its overall appeal and make it more accessible to children. It’s wonderful to see how the story explores the different emotions of a child through the character Gigglet, and then gently encourages parents to take extra care of their children before the birth of a new baby. While the subject is broached with humor, this is undoubtedly a significant turning point for every family.
Quill says: Welcome Baby Wigglet is an amazing fit for kids with siblings and especially for those who are yet to meet their new brothers or sisters.
