This book is for children who are ready for the complete but basic story about sexual reproduction. With text and illustrations, it explains in simple terms the male and female body; human sexuality; the physiology of conception, pregnancy, and fetal development; and birth. This is a fact-based book, rather than a personalized story about mommy and daddy and how you were made.
This book was developed with extensive input from psychologists, educators, and parents and includes a note from the authors on how to discuss sexuality with children.
