Reviews

* "Joyful and affirming, Aidan's story is the first of its kind among books for welcoming a new baby." -- Kirkus Reviews, starred review

* "Lukoff (himself a transgender man) nails the nuances of Aidan's conflict, providing believable reassurance through Aidan's mom, who offers support specific to her son's experience and proves universally calming advice. . . A much-needed and appealing addition to the picture book canon; both emotionally and visually satisfying." -- School Library Journal, starred review

* "Lukoff writes with sensitivity and candor as Aidan takes his first steps toward claiming his identity. . . The creators' exploration of one transgender child's experience emphasizes the importance of learning 'how to love someone for exactly who they are.'" -- Publishers Weekly, starred review

* "A trans man himself, Lukoff writes with authority and a loving spirit. Juanita's cheerful digital illustrations are a nicely harmonious match with the text, expanding it in meaningful ways. Together, the text and pictures create a heartfelt celebration of love that will be an ideal selection for trans children and for any who are expecting a new sibling." -- Booklist, starred review

"A thoughtful, delightfully illustrated book about being seen, heard, and loved." -- Jacqueline Woodson, author of The Day You Begin and Harbor Me

"This is the best of what picture books can be, melding powerful storytelling with an awareness of what quality representation can do for readers." -- Alex Gino, author of George and You Don't Know Everything, Jilly P!
