When Mama Said Yes

When new siblings come into the picture, many children experience internal struggles that may make them feel left out and not as important anymore. Other children show excitement about a new sibling, but don't know how to express their feelings. Author Roseann Perry has seen many children adapt to new brothers and sisters in her many years of teach ting elementary school. In her first book, When Mama Says "No", Jordan learns that even though Mama is now very busy with Baby Gracie, her love for him never changes.

When Mama Said "Yes" is the sequel that tells the story of how Jordan continues to adjust to his growing family. Mama and Grandma arrange for Jordan to get to spend a whole afternoon with Mama doing some of his favorite activities. As he experiences his Mama's unfailing love, and learns new, big boy responsibilities, he begins to see how lucky he is to have a baby sister. This book shows how graphically young children take things, as Jordan looks to the sky see if it is really "raining cats and dogs."
