Suddenly all the things that hurt Aidan are taking on new, scary meaning. While it takes everyone a little while to adjust, things look a lot better in Aidan’s life after he shares he’s really a different kind of boy – and then his parents announce they’re going to have another baby. And even though he knew there were lots of different ways to be a girl, none of them felt right. His parents gave him a pretty name, a pink room, and frilly dresses. When Aidan was born, everyone thought he was a girl. From the detailed digital illustrations to the tender, moving text, this has quickly become one of my favorite children’s books of 2019. In June, Lee & Low released When Aidan Became A Brother, a story about a transgender, biracial boy whose parents are expecting a baby – but I only recently got my hands on a copy.
Remember when I read It Feels Good to Be Yourself and we all assumed I couldn’t possibly love a picture book more? We were wrong. Lukoff, Kyle (author) and Kaylani Juanita (illus.).
