Lola Reads to Leo (Leo Can!)

We got this book for our daughter during our second pregnancy and we loved having it. It was the perfect level for our 2 year old, talks about the concepts that are important and helped her understand what was happening in mommy's belly. We had a hard time getting her to understand the concept of a new baby coming and this book helped her build the vocabulary to be able to get excited about baby brother coming.

I bought my daughter several big sister books before her brother was born. This is far and away her favorite and the one that we've continued to read over a period of months. The pictures are bright and colorful and the story is easy to follow. The things the author highlights match up really well to my daughter's observations and questions. For example, her most common observation is that her brother "cries a lot" and the book does a good job of explaining why that might be the case and giving the big sister something to do to help.

I was looking to add more diverse children's books to my library and stumbled on this absolute gem! I've gotten a lot of sibling books to help my daughter prepare for our new arrival, and this is the best! It offers practical ways parents and siblings can keep strong connections and make everyone feel loved when the baby comes. It is the sweetest sibling book, and I am so glad I have it!

Brought for my granddaughter she enjoys these books have all of them

My daughter absolutely adores the Lola books. After enjoying Lola at the Library we skipped ahead and ordered this. It's been requested and read to her so many times that she can actually 'read' it by heart now. Even though she is still an only child she really loves it. The illustrations, the beautiful, clear language and the sense of 'big girl-ness' that Lola takes on as a big sister is appealing to any child.Not to mention that as a mother of a beautiful black girl, it is heartening that there are books like this. I'm definitely going to buy the others in the series!

We love this book! It is one of our 3 year olds favorite books now that she is a big sister to a baby brother. The pictures are lovely and the story is perfect. I especially appreciate the distribution of baby-related tasks to both parents. This makes the story realistic to our family and reinforces what we are teaching our daughter. The story has also helped to encourage our daughter to read, sing, etc. for her brother like Lola does in the book.

We love this big sister book for my daughter who loves to read. It goes through the process of Lola's mom being pregnant, going to the hospital for the baby to be born, and reading to baby brother Leo after he is born.The book is very positive about being a big sister, but also includes text about how the baby sleeps a lot and how babies are a lot of work.I also appreciate that the characters are people of color.

I always try to find books appropriate for the situation...this book is perfect for my 2-year old neice who is expecting a sister soon!

Before baby #2 arrived I prepped my two year old with this story at bed time on the regular and I think it helped. Now that the baby has arrived we still read this book and draw comparisons to real life. It’s a great story and easy to read.

Such a sweet story to help my daughter get ready for baby. Definitely recommend for expecting parents who enjoy reading with their kids.

Bought for a gift.

Sehr schönes, kindgerechtes Buch! Unser Sohn liebt es. Wir übersetzten es beim Vorlesen immer frei. Schön wäre es deshalb auch auf Deutsch!

All of these books are awesome
