Thomas faces a big change when his baby brother arrives home. The house fills with new sounds and smells. His parents spend most of their time feeding the baby and changing diapers. Thomas watches from the doorway as they rock the crying infant to sleep. He remembers when all their attention belonged to him. The baby takes up space in the nursery where Thomas used to play with his toys. Sometimes Thomas feels invisible when visitors come to see the new arrival. He wonders if his parents love the baby more than him. Thomas discovers that being a big brother brings both challenges and surprises. He learns he can help in small ways that make his parents smile. The story follows Thomas as he navigates jealousy, curiosity, and the gradual realization that love grows rather than shrinks when families expand.
