Content
Children's whole world changes suddenly with the addition of a sibling. With her baby bump, Mom can no longer do everything she used to do and needs to rest more. And once the baby arrives, it often comes first. Moritz has a hard time understanding why his little sister can't play with him immediately and why his parents have less time for him now. But luckily Moritz is already a big boy and can help take care of his little sister. "There Are Four of Us Now" is a charming story that helps young children prepare for a sibling and better understand the impending changes. Age-appropriately told and accompanied by detailed images, this story offers the little ones many opportunities to put themselves in Moritz' shoes.
The Author
Sabine Cuno was an editor for a large children's book publisher, and later organized children's workshops and worked as a freelance editor. She has published diverse articles and has been working with Ravensburger on many projects. She is motivated by continual direct contact with children, including her own.
The Illustrator
Susanne Szesny was born in 1965. She studied visual communication in Münster and received a diploma in design. After her studies, she worked freelance as an illustrator of games books, board books and picture books. In her opinion, a book should transport an inner value (a message, a teaching) and be a source of inspiration for children and adults equally. With her pictures she tries to build a bridge between the emotional worlds of children and adults.
