First Edition Hardcover
$29.99

The Kid in the Courtroom is a children’s picture book by Cayden Brown, illustrated by Hsulynn Pang, published in 2026. The story centers on a young boy’s search for a voice as he suddenly finds himself caught in the middle of a confusing, adult-controlled custody battle where life-changing decisions are made by a judge who never asks to hear from him directly. It’s a powerful story exploring the emotions children experience when their voices go unheard in decisions about their lives, and is aimed at ages 4–8.

The Kid in the Courtroom tells the story of a young boy searching for his voice while caught in the middle of a confusing custody battle, where life-changing decisions are made by adults—and a judge who never asks to hear from him.

 

The book explores the emotions children experience when their voices go unheard in decisions about their lives, and reminds readers that no matter how young someone may be, their voice deserves to be heard.

 

Through this story, Cayden hopes to provide the resource he wishes he had growing up—one that helps children feel seen, heard, and empowered, while encouraging families to have meaningful conversations about emotions that often go unspoken during difficult family changes.
