Barnaby Bright and the Baby Wobble

A warm, funny picture book that helps children welcome a new sibling without losing their own spotlight.

The new baby is finally home.

Everyone crowds around to say hello — grandparents, neighbors, even the mail carrier.

Everyone, that is, except Barnaby Bright.

He starts to feel sour, and heavy, and very left out.

Then the Wobble appears.

This time, it is yellow-green, prickly, and grows bigger every time someone coos over the baby instead of him.

Barnaby Bright and the Baby Wobble is a heartfelt story that helps young children understand that feeling jealous of a new sibling is completely normal — and nothing to be ashamed of.

As Barnaby learns to name his feeling out loud, take a calming breath, and discover that there's still a special "big-kid job" and plenty of one-on-one time just for him, children build the confidence to share the spotlight without losing their place in the family.
