I teared up a lot. I am so glad to exist in a word where stories like this are being told and I wish I could’ve read a book like this when I was a kid.
I especially loved how Aidan and his parents were not concerned with the baby’s gender as much as simply preparing for and being excited about the baby’s arrival. I wish more folks thought this way. Even trans folks can be very gendered and binary with how they discuss babies’, children’s, and even other adults’ genders without knowing anything about them and hopefully this book teaches young children to do the opposite!
