I Was Here First!

Picture book

Sharing everything isn’t easy. But together, you discover so much more!

At first, it feels like a disaster: toys, attention, space… nothing is the same anymore! But little by little, the new baby brother turns out to be a special companion, able to transform the world with his curious and surprising gaze. A tender, genuine story about the kind of love that sneaks up on you—and grows with you, day by day.

A gentle and playful story about welcoming a new sibling, perfect for helping children navigate big changes at home.
Warm, poetic illustrations capture with humor and tenderness the jealousy, wonder, and unbreakable bond that begins to bloom between brothers.
