When Aidan is born, his parents think he's a girl, but after a few years, he manages to tell them the truth. The family adjusts, learns, makes mistakes, and learns more - and then Aidan's mom announces she's having another baby. This time around, the family does things a little differently, thanks to Aidan's care and concern that the baby should feel like he did when he was little. Mom allays Aidan's fears beautifully, and big balloons on the final page spread announce "IT'S A BABY!"

Author's note.

Straightforward, joyful, and necessary. ( )

When Aidan was younger everyone thought he was a girl. Now that he is becoming a big brother he wants it to be different for his soon to be sibling. A really beautiful book that highlights inclusive language and older brother fears.

children's diverse picture book (trans-boy worries about how his baby sibling will feel if he treats him wrong, #ownvoices)
Really sweet "new baby" story involving family with transgendered son. I wish there were more books like this, we really owe it to the kids. ( )

Book description
When Aidan was born, everyone thought he was a girl. His parents gave him a pretty name, his room looked like a girl's room, and he wore clothes that other girls liked wearing. After he realized he was a trans boy, Aidan and his parents fixed the parts of life that didn't fit anymore, and he settled happily into his new life. Then Mom and Dad announce that they're going to have another baby, and Aidan wants to do everything he can to make things right for his new sibling from the beginning--from choosing the perfect name to creating a beautiful room to picking out the cutest onesie. But what does "making things right" actually mean? And what happens if he messes up? With a little help, Aidan comes to understand that mistakes can be fixed with honesty and communication, and that he already knows the most important thing about being a big brother: how to love with his whole self.
