When it finally arrives, though, Beryl is disappointed.

However, her wise Uncle Morty has a few tricks up his sleeve. With a little magic and a little assistance from Mama, the aunts, and some old baby pictures, their Uncle Morty helps Beryl and Sam see that some things are true and unchanging, like the sun in the sky above and a family’s love. Sharp and witty illustrations from popular artist Victoria Chess punctuate this easy-to-read chapter book about a unique and loving family. Description from Publisher Beryl is eagerly awaiting the birth of her new baby sister, who she has already decided would be named Babka after her Mama's chocolate dessert.

When Beryl and her other brother Sam decide to make baby Zack disappear, Uncle Morty helps Beryl and Sam realize how special each member of the family is. Zalben does an excellent job at conveying the angst and worries of neglect felt by older brothers and sisters upon the birth of a new baby.
