Sophie spends Spring, Summer and Autumn looking forward to the arrival of her new baby brother but once he arrives, being able to accept him takes a great deal of growing up. Sophie's fury is superbly captured in the double spread where she rails at the elements that she doesn't want that baby any more! With gentle wisdom the Anholts do not present a quick solution; the resolution of Sophie's problems takes time but is satisfyingly portrayed.
