Receiving an au pair is a big adventure for the whole family
My New Friend Is Here is a warm and playful picture book that helps young children understand what it means when an au pair becomes part of their everyday life.
Through the eyes of a child, readers discover that an au pair is a grown-up who comes from another place to help care for children while experiencing a new culture. There may be new routines, new rules, funny misunderstandings, and plenty of things for everyone to learn along the way.
Little by little, the child and au pair discover what makes each other feel happy, safe, and comfortable. They play, laugh, learn, and create memories together, while children are gently reminded that an au pair is both a caring adult and part of the family's team.
Created especially for families beginning their au pair journey, this sweet story can help children feel more comfortable with change, understand expectations, and get excited about welcoming someone new into their home.
A reassuring and joyful book about friendship, cultural exchange, trust, family, and the beautiful adventure of learning from one another.
