Wow, this book blew me away! My Sister, Daisy by Adria Karlsson is a stunning story about a boy and his younger sibling, who realizes they are a girl. The story documents the older brother's perspective of gaining a sister and how their parents and others treat her. The relationships are so sweet and beautiful. I loved how close the siblings are. A gorgeous example of unconditional love and acceptance. The illustrations are wonderful as well and really help convey the love and friendships between the siblings. This would be a perfect book for early elementary school aged children to help explain what transgender means and help children with their feelings, which may include confusion or jealousy. I loved this book!

Thank you Capstone and NetGalley for providing this ARC.

Mothers are writing about what the¥ did when their child brought uπ that they were no longer the gender that they were assigned at birth.

In this case, the picture book makes the transition very smooth, and full of love, which is what you want. In the author says that she wrote this book because although there were a few picture books out there about trans children, she had yet to see one that showed how the siblings can be accepting.

Sweet story, and she even brought up how the older brother was a little jealous over all the attention his sister was getting.

Good addition to a library.
