Overview

Huebert Has a Baby Sister is a beautifully illustrated, emotionally rich picture book that helps children prepare for life with a new sibling. Written by veteran pediatrician Dr. Kjartan Armann (Dr. KJ) and brought to life with warmth and whimsy by illustrator Suzanne Pell, this story speaks directly to children navigating the excitement and uncertainty of big life changes. When Huebert's baby sister Blush comes home, things don't just change - they shift in ways Huebert didn't expect. One minute, he's proud to be a big brother. The next, he's overwhelmed by crying, confusion, and missing how things used to be. Through Huebert's unique chameleon lens (and his ever-changing colors), young readers see what it's like to feel happy, jealous, sad, and proud - sometimes all in the same day. With guidance from loving parents and their family's pediatrician, Huebert begins to understand his sister's needs, learns how to comfort her, and discovers that his own feelings are just as important. Along the way, Huebert finds joy in connection, pride in responsibility, and confidence in being himself - even when everything feels new. This book gently addresses topics often left out of traditional new baby stories: how to handle mixed feelings, how to support emotional transitions, and how families grow together - not just the baby. It even includes a glimpse of postpartum adjustment through the eyes of a child, offering a rare and thoughtful look at how young kids experience the emotional shifts in their parents too.
