Transgender. Family. Informative.

Story: Aidan, who is not a girl, prepares to be a big brother when his mother is expecting.

Language: Brightly colored and filled with important language, this is a modern book.

Characters: Aidan is not a girl. His parents are supportive. A new baby is on its way.

As a reader, I would have been more interested in Aidan's personal transition story, but the book does what it says on the tin and focuses on their becoming a big brother. Not being transgender, I couldn't get into the book completely, but I think its great that there are books like this for the transgender community and families.

THIS is the book. A beautiful and empowering story of identity. What we've been needing in our schools. The one that is going to thoughtfully, lovingly, and honestly help our kids better understand transgender kids they hear about, encounter, or know. I urge you to order this picture book and share it with all kids in your life.

Aidan's parents thought he was a girl when he was born, so now that he's going to be a big brother, he's thinking carefully about how to welcome his new sibling. So sweet.

I wish I’d have had this book when I was little, it was really helpful to me even as a 25 year old. I think anyone of any age can get something important out of it.

Everyone worries when a new baby is on the way - even soon-to-be big brothers! This is adorable and helpful info.
