Pitch

Mummy’s having a baby boy, but big sister wants nothing to do with him. When the new arrival starts to find his feet, big sister thinks this may be a fun experience after all. But uh-oh, it looks like Mummy has one more surprise in store! Combining the fun of I’m a Big Brother and I’m a Big Sister by Joanna Cole, Tummy Mummy offers up a child-view lens to families preparing their first-borns to welcome a new sibling.
