Life can be very challenging for a child who is about to welcome a new sibling into the world. But for little Alex Peapot, life was not only challenging, it was very confusing to him because his baby brother was born three months too early. As a two pound six ounce preemie, Austin Q. Peapot had to spend thirteen weeks in the hospital and big brother Alex had more questions than answers, because even Mom and Dad were unsure what to say. No one in the family knew or expected how their life would change so drastically when they welcomed little Austin into the world. The Little Bitty Story of Austin Q. Peapot was written to help explain to siblings what life is like when a preemie is born into a family. This story is a tribute to preemies that enter the world fighting from the day they are born.
