Books as Gifts for New Siblings

New babies are often showered with baby gifts, new siblings - not always. If you know a new brother or sister in your life, consider bringing them a small gift when you go to visit. I personally like to give books as gifts. They are something small and easy and yet so wonderful. A new mom can read the book to the big brother or sister while she's nursing or while baby sleeps, or the sibling can look at pictures by themselves. It's not noisy so it doesn't wake a baby and it lasts forever.

If you live far away you can use a service like Gifted Grasshopper to send your gift.
