Supporting our tamariki through the big feelings of becoming an older sibling
When George’s new siblings arrive, he starts to wonder if his mum still has enough love for him. Life feels different, and with so much of Mum’s time taken up, George isn’t sure where he fits anymore. With his loyal friend Patrick by his side, George sets off on a heartfelt adventure to discover where love grows, and whether it can ever run out.
Patrick and George: New Siblings and a Search for Love is a tender, beautifully illustrated story that reassures children facing the changes that come with a growing whānau. It opens the door for conversations about jealousy, belonging, and the endless nature of a parent’s love.
How this product supports tamariki:
- Normalises the mixed emotions that can come with welcoming a new sibling - excitement, pride, but also uncertainty or worry.
- Helps tamariki see that their feelings are valid and shared by others, reducing loneliness in their experience.
- Provides parents and caregivers with a gentle way to reassure children that love doesn’t run out, even when life feels busier.
