Book Nook - Talking to Sissy

 

Sissy isn’t born yet. She is still in my mommy’s tummy. I am so excited for her to get here! So, until she comes, I talk to her. My mommy taught me how. Sometimes I sing. Sometimes I tell her about Mommy and Daddy. Sometimes I tell her about Shammy and Pop Pop. And sometimes I tell her about my cars and dinosaurs. But I always tell her I love her. Every day, three-year-old Oakley talks to the baby girl in his mommy’s stomach. Before Sissy is even born, Oakley is a loving big brother. But when Sissy doesn't come home from the hospital with his mommy, Oakley has to learn how to keep sharing his love with a baby sister he will never meet.
