A personalized big sister or big brother book for when the new baby arrives
When a new baby arrives, an older child can feel left out, jealous or simply unsure where they fit. A TinyHeroes book makes your child the hero of a story about exactly that: the new baby, the change at home, and the moment they find their own place as the big sister or big brother.
Tell us about your family: the baby's name, what has changed at home, and what your older child says or does about it. The story is written from those details, so your child sees a hero who looks like them go through the same change.
It works as a gift before the birth, to get ready, or in the first months after, when the feelings are big. Grandparents can order it too: you only need the child's name, age and a few words on how they look.

Common questions
What do you give a child when the new baby arrives?
Something that is only theirs. Our brave hero book is a story where your child is the hero and the new baby is part of the plot, so they see themselves as the big sister or big brother. Order it here as a hardcover (CA$49.99, the PDF comes with it) or a printable PDF (CA$19.99), and see a free preview first.
Can the baby be in the story?
Yes. Tell us the baby's name and anything else about your family when you order, and the story is written around it.
What ages is it for?
Ages 3 to 8. Read it aloud to little ones; older kids read it themselves.
Will the hero look like my child?
The hero is drawn from your description or a photo, so add detail: hair, skin tone, eye colour, glasses, freckles. You see a free preview of the hero before you pay.
