Booklist - 06/01/2024 Pinkney carries on his family’s legacy of thoughtful children’s literature and gorgeous art in this heartwarming story about Brandon, a new older brother adjusting to the new baby in the house and learning how to entertain himself when his parents are preoccupied. Brandon wants to throw tantrums to get Mommy and Daddy’s attention, but he also understands how much more his baby brother needs the care. Soon, he realizes that his security blanket—paired with a little imagination—is the perfect companion when he wants to play alone, as the blanket morphs into various animal friends. Not only that, but Brandon shares his comfort item with his baby brother, helping to soothe him. The pastel palette and free-spirited art style showcase Brandon’s creativity and the lack of restrictions on his imagination. Perfect for young readers who are adapting to little siblings and the loss of attention, helping them understand that their parents still love them just as much as before. - Copyright 2024 Booklist.
