Kyle Lukoff is a children's book author, school librarian, and former bookseller.[1] He is most known for the Stonewall award-winning When Aidan Became a Brother and for Call Me Max, which gained attention when parents in Texas[2] complained about the book being read in an elementary school classroom and a Utah school district canceled its book program after the book was read to third graders.[3]

Personal life

Lukoff is a transgender man, who transitioned in 2004[4] while an undergraduate at Barnard College, a historically women's college. Much of his work centers on transgender children. He is Jewish.[5]

Education

Lukoff went to Edmonds-Woodway High School then graduated from Barnard College[6] in 2006. While at Barnard, he was a member of Columbia University's Philolexian Society.[7] He earned his Master's degree in library science from Queens College in 2012.[8]

Career

Lukoff was a school librarian at the Corlears School in New York City[9] until he quit his job to write full time in 2020. His first book, A Storytelling of Ravens, was published in 2018 by House of Anansi Press and illustrated by Natalie Nelson.[10] His second book, When Aidan Became a Brother, illustrated by Kaylani Juanita,[11] is a story about a transgender boy awaiting a new sibling.[12] The book was published by Lee & Low, an independent publisher known for works by unpublished authors and illustrators of color.[13]

Lukoff's Max and Friends series was released in November 2019 with Call Me Max, illustrated by Luciano Luzano.[14] In April 2020, he published Explosion at the Poem Factory and was illustrated by Mark Hoffman.[15] In 2021, he published Too Bright to See, which won the Stonewall award and a Newbery Honor,[16] and was a finalist for the National Book Award for Young People's Literature.[17] He also wrote Different Kinds of Fruit
