Stretching Our Hearts: A Giraffe Families Story

Stretching Our Hearts: A Giraffe Family’s Story is a tender, beautifully illustrated children’s book that helps toddlers prepare for the arrival of a new sibling. Through the eyes of a curious young giraffe, children learn that love doesn’t divide—it grows. Inspired by real families I’ve supported as a doula, this gentle story encourages connection, patience, and reassurance during one of life’s biggest transitions. Perfect for story time with parents, nannies, or babysitters, it's a heartfelt tool for nurturing sibling bonds from the very beginning.
