CBC Showcase: Learning about Families

The charming narrator of this story takes a refreshingly clear-eyed look at life with a baby and the responsibilities that brings.

I Was Born To Be a Brother

by Zaydek G. Michels-Gualtieri, illustrated by Dan Liegey

Having a baby sister around the house can be quite an adventure! The charming narrator of this story takes a refreshingly clear-eyed look at life with a baby and the responsibilities it brings. Someone, after all, has to teach her how to make truck noises and push the right button in the elevator. But it is when his baby sister goes from being totally irresistible to totally irritating that he discovers how much she really loves him—and how much he really loves her! Siblings—both older and younger—will revel in this story of belonging and brotherhood. CD with story narration and original songs included. A delightful and refreshing exploration of the male experience of a new sibling.
