“When Aidan Became a Brother,” by Kyle Lukoff is one of three books that will be read Friday the during Rainbow Family Storytime to celebrate Transgender Day of Visibility at Gail Borden Public Library in Elgin. The children’s book, “When Aidan Became a Brother,” by Kyle Lukoff tells the story of a little boy who everyone thought was a girl at birth and the different transitions he goes through in his life, not only as a transgender child but as a big brother.
Since 2010, Transgender Day of Visibility has been held every March 31 to raise awareness about transgender people and celebrate their lives and contributions, according to GLAD, a civil rights organization dedicated to justice and equality for LGBTQ+ people. Ryan chose two other stories, “Today I’ll Be a Unicorn” by Dana Simpson and “The Boy & The Bindi” by Vivek Shraya to read with families. All three were written by openly transgender authors, he said.“We serve everyone in the community. We want to make sure we reflect the folks that we serve,” Raleigh said. “We have had so many people who appreciate our offerings.”
