Tayo can’t wait to meet his
baby sister.
Hurry up Mama!
Let her out of your tummy.
But Tinu isn’t what Tayo
expects.
She looks funny.
She smells
horrible! And even
worse…
Neh! Neh!
She’s too noisy, Mama!
Tinu won’t stop crying.
She’s trying to tell you
something, Tayo. What do
you think she’s saying?
I don’t know,
says Tayo.
Well, I think she’s
just hungry.
Mama feeds Tinu. But…
Eh! Tinu cries again.
You’ve fed her, why is
she still crying?
Because sometimes, babies
need a good...
BUUURP!
Friends and family want to meet
her, but Tinu has never been
around so many people.
WAAAAHH!
Mama takes Tinu to her room
for some quiet time.
As time goes by, Tayo
learns what Tinu’s
cries mean.
And she doesn’t seem
so bad after all. They
even play together.
No, Tinu. Planes are
for flying, not chewing.
But sometimes, Tinu cries and
Tayo doesn’t know what
she wants.
Tinu cries through the day...
and through the night.
Why won’t she
stop crying?
Wait, what’s that?
Look Mama,
Tinu’s got her first tooth!
