“When you were born, we didn’t know you were going to be our son. We made some mistakes, but you helped us fix them” quote from WHEN AIDEN BECAME A BROTHER by Kyle Lukoff.

Aidan, who is a transgender child, is worried he won’t be a good brother to the new baby. This is a great book for any child worried about a new baby but is beautifully written for a child with Aidan’s concerns and anxieties.  Aidan’s parents are a wonderful and supportive part of Aiden’s life.
