Reseña del libro "Gigi: Big Sister (en Inglés)"
Gigi: Big Sister is the tale of a little girl who is super excited about her baby sister, Birdie, becoming her new best friend. However, Gigi is faced with the harsh reality that... well, newborns just aren't all that much fun. It's kind of like trying to be best friends with a potato (if potatoes cried all the time and pooped everywhere). But Gigi soon discovers thatinfants do have a few redeeming qualities (her new baby sis is good at staring contests and cloud watching), and if Gigi can just have a little patience, Birdie will eventually acquire all the skills she needs to participate in Gigi's wishlist of fun sister activities (nail painting, sleepovers, baking cookies)! And, best of all, Gigi will be there to experience all the cool milestones as Birdie achieves them: clapping, talking, even learning to say Gigi's name! In fact, Birdie is the one who gives Gigi her moniker when she can't pronounce "Georgie." Told through whimsical illustrations and a kid's POV, the story takes us from Gigi's initial disappointment at a little sister who only seems to eat, sleep, and poop, through her gradual discovery of Birdie's abilities, and finally to the sister friendship she'd been hoping for. Kids will delight in Gigi's exaggerated reactions and Birdie's bodily functions (how can something so little burp that loud?) and her over-the-top expectations for her infant sister (when will Birdie be able to wear tutus and have a tea party?). A perfect gift for a big-sibling-to-be, this book is a fun way for second-time parents to talk to their firstborn about what to expect and have a laugh at the messy chaos that a new baby brings. It's a reminder to savor the experience of watching their little "potato" grow into a walking, talking member of the family... and that being sisters is a lifelong journey of love.
