Nov 07, Josephine rated it really liked it Shelves: , big-topics-for-kids , fiction. And how she feels better. Aug 28, Harriet Hunt rated it liked it. A Baby for Grace is a short illustrated story about a young girl being introduced to her first younger sibling.

The story begins with Grace not knowing where her mother is, and finding out that she is in hospital with the baby. The following pages describe Grace's experiences in the run up to the baby coming home, including; watching her father speak to lots of people on the telephone, her Grandparents coming over to tidy up the house, and observing the decorator finishing up the baby's bedroom.

Grace begins to feel left out and tries to get involved with the different activities, but keeps being told 'no'. The baby soon comes home with Grace's mother, and while Grace continues to be told 'no', when the baby cries the parents and Grandparents say 'ah yes', this makes Grace jealous so she goes outside and tries to cut some flowers for the baby.

When Grace's father catches her with sharp shears he gets cross, which makes Grace cry. However, he then realises Grace was feeling sad so he helps her to pick some flowers for the baby, which makes everybody pleased with Grace once again. This story is perfect for younger primary school children because it describes a situation that many will be able to relate to, and one that some may find very difficult. This story can be used to start discussions about how a new baby may affect an older siblings life.

It could also be used to try and get children to open up about themselves, by speaking about somebody that they love very much; which could increase their confidence when speaking in public. The story is dominated by illustrations, which explain a lot of the story as there are few words. This story would also be suitable as a first reading book due to the simple narrative and wording.

A delightful book which shows how young children find it hard to find their place and explain their feelings when a new sibling arrives. Aug 11, Lisa Rathbun added it. This is a wonderful story! The way Grace responds is so realistic. The pictures are great - in the cover illustration, the artist captures Grace's pride, nervousness, and anxiety to please while holding her little sister.
