A warm and affectionate look at the funny ways we describe a new baby from the creators of My Brother is an Avocado.

‘A little girl ponders the different nicknames her family give her baby sister in this exuberant, joyous picture book celebration of sibling relationships’ The Guardian

‘A super representation of the importance of imaginative play as a way of processing big life events’ Irish Examiner

"Dad says my sister is a treasure.
I can't wait until we play pirates together and dig holes to look for more.
I'll be the captain and wear the hat because I'm the oldest."

A girl takes the terms of endearment her family use at face value when she wonders what it would be like if her new baby sister really was a treasure or a ray of sunshine or a dimply dumpling in this adorable new picture book from Tracy Darnton and Yasmeen Ismail.

- a funny, fresh, relatable and reassuring take on the arrival of a new sibling
- a playful look at the quirkiness of language and terms of endearment
- a celebration of imagination and sibling relationships
