Title: My Sister, Daisy

Author: Adria Karlsson
Artist: Linus Curci
Upcoming Release Date: September 1, 2021


Synopsis: Daisy’s older brother is thrilled when he gets a new sibling. They are best buddies who do everything together. But in kindergarten, things change. His sibling tells him she is a girl and wants to be called Daisy. Daisy’s brother must adjust to the change — including what it means for him and their relationship. A powerful, moving picture book based on a true story, My Sister, Daisy handles a sensitive subject with warmth and love.

Review: The author of this book didn't see any books that represented her family situation so she wrote one! There's a lovely story at the end of the book explaining the background. This book is an excellent introduction to young people who may be going through similar experiences, especially for kids who have a trans sibling.

An older sibling is told by his younger sibling that she is a girl. The older brother questions his sister in an understanding way. The emotions are very evident.

I give this book a 5/5. This is a beautiful picture book for children these days. I highly recommend it for parents with toddlers or slightly older children.
