She roars very loudly, kicks Mummy and bites Daddy. Things are looking bad and only Geraldine's toys seem to understand her. But when Geraldine cries, Baby Boo cries too and suddenly everything changes. "Don't cry, Baby Boo," says Geraldine. "Don't cry." Now there is Mummy and Daddy and Geraldine and Boo, a happy family who all love each other.Trade Review"Beautifully illustrated with lovely warm colours throughout, really captures the early stages of adjustment that a family goes through when a new baby arrives." * Children's Books Ireland *"A funny, silly picture book perfectly capturing the feelings of children when a new baby joins the family." * Armadillo Magazine *“Sensitively written and illustrated, Marie-Louise beautifully captures the feelings of a young child adapting to a new baby in the family. I’d strongly recommend families in a similar situation to the family in the story to get hold of a copy of this lovely book and share it with the big brother or sister. It’s a good one to add to foundation stage collections too.” * Red Reading Hub *"...expertly encapsulates the new-baby-sibling experience for young children... the story will have you gripped from beginning to end... sure to resonate with any young reader with baby siblings, a must-read to have in every home." * Books Ireland *"This funny picture book with beautiful illustrations perfectly captures the feelings of a young child’s frustration when a new baby arrives in the family, and steals some of the attention previously bestowed on them. This is a really good read aloud book for two years and above... an especially good for children who have recently welcomed a new baby into their home… A simple story, perfect for young pre-schoolers which also works well as an action story, with children roaring, kicking, and pretending to bite – we had a lot of fun with it." * Nursery World *

White Star A New Baby is Coming!: SOS Parents
Book SynopsisLittle Tim is the central character for this innovative series that speaks both to parents and their little ones. Each of the first four books in the series deals with a fundamental problem that might affect three- to five-year olds: fear, especially of the dark, anger and aggression that are frightening and difficult to manage, jealousy, perhaps due to the arrival of a new family member and the shyness that makes it difficult to face new situations such as the first day of nursery school. The book's point of view makes it unique. It speaks directly to the reader, describing a problem and providing five small, simple solutions to help face it. All of the points are imaginative and written using language suitable to the targeted age group with examples taken from the child's daily life that he or she can actually put into practice. At the end of every book, parents will find reflections and behaviours in a section dedicated to them because sometimes, parents find these situations just as hard as their children do and sometimes, even harder. Ages: 3 plus
