Dawn Babb Prochovnic is pleased to announce the October 13, 2026 release of her latest children’s book, Mama’s Home (and Baby Too!), which tenderly captures the moment a family changes with the arrival of a new sibling. It’s a 95-word story that took over 20 years to become a book!
What happens when a family welcomes home someone tiny and new? Mama’s Home (and Baby Too!) tenderly captures the moment a family changes with the arrival of a new sibling. Written by Dawn Babb Prochovnic and illustrated by Adèle Dafflon, this lyrical board book offers comfort, reassurance, and joy for families experiencing one of childhood’s most meaningful transitions.
Told through rhythmic, poetic text, the story follows a brother and sister as they navigate the everyday moments of missing mama—meals, chores, playtime—while preparing for her to come home. But when she returns with a new baby, the story beautifully reflects both the excitement and adjustment that come with welcoming a sibling.
With warm, expressive illustrations and a focus on family connection, Mama’s Home (and Baby Too!) helps young children process feelings of separation, build emotional understanding, and embrace their evolving role within the family.
Perfect for growing families, baby showers, and everyday reading, this sweet board book celebrates the enduring bond between parent and child—and the joy of making room for one more.
