About This Book

An engaging introduction for very young children to the basic facts of life in a way that is gentle, age-appropriate and accessible. Research shows that children are learning about sex at an increasingly young age and often from undesirable sources. The Q&A format, with questions posed in the child's voice and answers starting simply and becoming gradually more in-depth, allows the adult to guide the conversation to a natural and satisfying conclusion. Additional questions at the back of the boo

Our Review

This gentle Q&A book offers a thoughtful first introduction to where babies come from, using a child's natural curiosity as its foundation. The format mirrors how young children actually ask questions, with simple initial answers that can expand into slightly more detailed explanations as needed. This approach to early sex education respects both the child's developmental stage and the parent's comfort level, creating a comfortable space for these important conversations. The book covers basic facts of life in accessible language that three-to-five-year-olds can understand without overwhelming them.

What makes this resource particularly valuable is how it empowers parents to be the primary source of information during these formative years. The child-voiced questions feel authentic and will resonate with preschoolers who are noticing pregnant family members or asking about their own origins. Having additional discussion prompts at the back provides helpful guidance for continuing the conversation beyond the book's pages. This carefully constructed tool transforms what could be an awkward topic into a natural, bonding experience that establishes open communication about bodies and reproduction from an early age.
