(3) PS In this gender-expansive ­celebration of newborns, we see older siblings snuggle and cuddle with their younger kin. The photos gathered from a variety of photographers are adorable, diverse, and appealing to preschoolers and babies alike. The buoyant verse, with one couplet per double-page spread, is a helpful tool to open up conversations about gender with older siblings, friends, and extended family members: "Our new baby gets lots of questions, / like 'Are you girl or a boy?' / We aren't sure of their gender yet-- / and they bring us so much joy." Also available in a bilingual English/French paperback edition (It's a They! / Bienvenue à notre adelphe). For more baby photos, try The I Can Say Dada Book and The I Can Say Mama Book (Sourcebooks) by early speech expert Stephanie Cohen, written with the goal of encouraging children's expressive language.
