Waiting Patiently Karen Brough

A Purple Dragonfly Book Award Honorable Mention Award for 2017, and Family Choice Award Winner. "Waiting Patiently" is a tale of the love and patience a young child needs to wait for something special. When Mommy and Daddy tell Pumpkin that she is going to be a big sister, she immediately wants to know, "When will I have my baby?" Waiting is never easy, especially when the waiting is for a new baby sister or brother, but Pumpkin passes the time with her favorite stuffed animal, pancake breakfasts, and taking trips to the park. What will the family do when the waiting gets hard? How will Pumpkin feel when the baby finally comes? Two and three-year-olds will grow their own patience with this gentle but engaging story. Four to six-year-olds will enjoy remembering what it was like when they waited for baby.
