This little book is for little ones who feel left out and sidelined on the arrival of a new baby at home. Owen doesn’t like that his daddy is busy with the baby. But daddy promises him a day out, and they go to explore the city. Owen first feeds corn to the ducks, plays at the park, and orders food to take home for lunch. 

He is happy to spend time with his daddy and is more loving towards his sibling. The book is rather simple but sweet and cute. I wish it had a line or two where Owen and his dad talk about the new member of their family. That said, the book is more for parents to ensure they divide their time between the kids. 

The illustrations are cheerful and childlike. Kids will love the slightly turned-up button noses and color-pencil-sketched (or is it crayons) hair of the characters. I liked the happy vibes in the book. It sure made me smile. 

I received an ARC from NetGalley and Clavis Publishing and am voluntarily leaving a review.
