But what if your worries came to life and started following you around? Jazmin's mum is about to have a baby and Jaz is SO excited! She's been waiting forever to be a big sister and knows she's going to be brilliant at it. Okay, it might mean some changes to their family, but Jaz is sure everything will be just fine.

Jion Sheibani grew up in Brighton and now lives in Paris with her family. She is a self-taught illustrator and studied English literature at Oxford University. One of her very first jobs was as an intern to Green Party MP Caroline Lucas in the European Parliament, and working on green issues definitely influenced Jion's first picture book, Lily & The Polar Bears. Jion was a teacher at Sciences Po and ENSAE in Paris before opening her own language school for children.

Funny, sweet and very useful for opening conversations with anxious children, it is great for reading aloud * Guardian *
