No Room for Baby

It’s one of those how-to-adapt-to-a-new-baby-in-the-house stories. Leon is not sure where his new little brother is going to fit in their lives:  can’t be on mom’s lap, as there’s only room for Leon there; can’t be in mama’s arms (they’re just the right size for cuddling him, so obviously too big to cuddle a tiny baby); can’t be between mom and dad while holding hands (Leon holds both); can’t be on dad’s shoulders like Leon (baby’s too tiny).  After much hemming and hawing, Leon is about to conclude they have no place to put a new baby in their home, when he realizes his own arms are just the right size to snuggle a baby.  The illustrations are simple and child-like.
