Mom is having a baby. Anton wants a brother but she instead has a girl. He'll have nothing to do with her until he sees her asleep in her crib.

About the Book

Anton continues his adventure in this tender story about a boy who makes sure his expectant mom is aware that she must choose a baby boy and not a baby girl when she goes to the hospital. There's definitely no room in his life for a sister. He argues his point and even talks to God to make sure his wish comes true. When Mom comes home with a baby girl Anton will have nothing to do with her until, on her first night home, he hears a noise coming from her room. He and Raffles investigate and when he sees Miliana he is awestruck. He can't believe how beautiful she is. He tells the sleeping baby he's going to love being a big brother after all.
