I hadn't been to the public library in months. Those 3 videos that I still haven't gotten around to watching weren't going to return themselves, so ...
I keep thinking this is a conservative area of the country.* My son was with me to pick up 2 hold items, and we came upon a table with 20 or so books on display for Pride month. When Aiden Became a Brother was one of them. Authors Kyle Lukoff and Kaylani Juanita might have the kiddies fooled with the title - as in, Aiden's parents are having another baby boy - but it didn't fool me one bit:
When Aidan was born, everyone thought he was a girl. His parents gave him a pretty name, his room looked like a girl's room, and he wore clothes that other girls liked wearing. After he realized he was a trans boy, Aidan and his parents fixed the parts of life that didn't fit anymore, and he settled happily into his new life. Then Mom and Dad announce that they're going to have another baby, and Aidan wants to do everything he can to make things right for his new sibling from the beginning--from choosing the perfect name to creating a beautiful room to picking out the cutest onesie...(Is Aiden still a little girl at heart anyway? She shouldn't have thrown out those dolls, much less done that plastic surgery and plumbing...)
I don't know what to say... so how can I write a review? I'll delegate the work this time to a couple of amazon.com reviewers:
Due to there being more children's' books on the Pride table with "Stonewall" in their titles, I had to explain what that Stonewall deal was, something I'd only read about 5 years ago. They are pushing this stuff hard, people.
Oh, yeah, one more quick review, off the Goodreads site (the one I link to for books) from a lady named Mai:
Nope.And that wasn't me, either. Nice and succint. That could have been Peak Stupidity's review in a nutshell, but "we" tend to get long-winded.

You couldn't find enough courtrooms.. or lamp posts, Mr. Blanc.

PS: So, he was light in the sandals, then, PM? My local branch has some nice people who I believe are glad to see some "customers" to begin with, as libraries aren't what they used to be. Oh, the tax money is still there, but not so many people make use of that which they've unwillingly spent their money on.
They are glad so see people who are not just bums wanted to get into the A/C or going to cause trouble.
Anyway, I can't tell how woke they are, but I'm sure they go along with the program to get along. Nobody on the staff would dare protest about the books. I don't say anything just because that stage of raising hell about everything is behind me..., alas...
Get your children who have said grandkids to take a close look, Possumman. You want the kids independent, but they may indeed get fooled by the titles.

PS. My local library is full of green haired lezzy librarians and a few light in the loafers male librarians. Altho last time I was there he had on sandals. The table marked Staff Picks is always full of this crap. My grandkids bring home a lot of books from their branch but so far none of these.

PS: Yes, a very brave man Mr. (is it?) Lukoff is in this day and age. People are throwing trannies off of buildings even. Good luck, you two, with that Middle East children's book club tour!
I'll check out your line on, (oh, I see now), Miss Lukoff now, Adam. Thanks.
