How to Be a Baby . . . by Me, the Big Sister by Sally Lloyd-Jones

How to Be a Baby . . . by Me, the Big Sister by Sally Lloyd-Jones

The New York Times praised this best-selling picture book as adorable, original, well-illustrated and fabulous. In this first book in the How-To Series (which includes How To Get Married and How to Get a Job), the know-it-all big sister narrator tells it like it is: When you're a baby you don't read books. You eat them. You don't know how old you are, or even if you're a boy or a girl. And you have to keep a special plug in your mouth to stop your scream from coming out. But one day, you won't be little anymore, and then you'll be taller and smarter, and actually quite clever. Like the narrator. And you'll be able to share memories of what it was like when you were little with your incredible Big Sister.

Sally Lloyd-Jones is a leading writer of inspirational books for children with particular expertise in conveying biblical truth to young children. She is the author of three best-selling children's Bibles: the Gold Medallion Award winning, Baby's First Bible; A Child's First Bible; and The Lift the Flap Bible.

After a 17-year career in children's publishing, Sally left her position as Publisher of Christian children's books at Reader's Digest in 2000 to devote more time to writing. She continues to write high quality Christian and inspirational titles that have a strong cross over into the general market and her titles consistently appear on the bestseller lists.

Sally is British and moved to the States in 1989 just for a year or two. She's still here. Born in Kampala, Uganda, raised in East, and West Africa and at a boarding school in the New Forest, England, she lives in NYC and every day she is grateful she gets to do what she loves. It's her dream come true.
