First There Was Me, Then There Was You

A heartwarming story of new siblings captures the friendship, imagination, and occasional rivalry of a brother and baby sister growing up together.

You were as small as a pumpkin,
with a cute button nose.
It was love at first sight . . .

When a big brother meets the baby sibling he’s been waiting for, he loves her immediately, but is a little disappointed at how little she can do. Soon it’s time to show her the ropes! Walking, talking, hide-and-seek, reading, making Mom and Dad laugh–he’s got her covered. Even through tantrums and squabbles, each day they learn new things or make new friends, and wherever they go, they can always count on each other. In a charmingly illustrated story with sure appeal for families introducing a new baby, Ugandan-Canadian-Australian author Yvonne Sewankambo and illustrator Aurore McLeod relay the magic (and occasional missteps) of sibling relationships everywhere.
