Eve's New Brother - Parakeet Books

The story

Eve’s New Brother explores something familiar to many of us: a child meeting their new sibling. The story follows the emotions of Eve as she tries to accept this new small person and the challenges she faces. This tale is nestled among the tangible closeness Eve shares with her mothers. Her parents listen to her fears and encourage her to work around them, be patient and find a way to accept Stanley.

LGBT parents

Eve’s parents are two women. There are few books featuring LGBTQ+ families or themes and even less with same-sex parents included in the story. This book is not about the fact that these characters are ‘unique’ in any way, they are a normal family like anyone else’s.
