Chelsea Clinton, mother of three, is an expert when it comes to introducing a new baby to the family, and this humorous book is all about what to expect. Her latest book Welcome to the Big Kids Club teaches older siblings why your baby cries, how to carry them, and more! She has authored several children’s books including the She Persisted series on trailblazing women around the world, which was fodder for the book she co-authored with her mother Former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Gutsy Women, and the docuseries Gutsy on Apple TV. Kanika Chadda Gupta sat down with her to discuss her books, the challenges and joys of being a mother of three, and how she galvanizes toddlers, tweens, teens and beyond to make an impact in their communities and fight for global issues like world hunger, access to education, the water crisis, saving endangered species, and climate change.
