Growing Up Trans: In Our Own Words

About this book

There's a new baby in our family! In this dual-language picture book told in sweet rhyming couplets, we are invited to celebrate a new baby, and their gender-neutral pronouns, from the point of view of their excited siblings. The baby is snuggly and sweet in their bright pajamas, they love to snooze and sway...and when asked if they're a boy or a girl, we're told, "We aren't sure of their gender yet—still, they bring us so much joy." Accompanied by delightful photos of babies and siblings of diverse ethnicities, it's clear that no matter what gender pronouns baby eventually chooses, they will always be loved just for who they are. This bilingual book includes full text in both English and French.
