Communicate with her openly.
Perhaps just write her a letter with what you wrote here.
However, as the baby is a sibling and 4 is a good age to recognize these relationships I'm confused on wanting to hide this... In my kids' open adoptions siblinghood is openly recognized... and even b/t my 8 yr old and her brother... she finally met him and said she had a brother she hadn't met yet (which was true). But she'd seen the pics and was brought up knowing... but at least they hadn't met due to the distance between our homes.
I am confused as to the harm of telling the truth.
