from the back cover:
How Babies Are Made is a perfect introduction for children ages three to ten to the basic facts of sexuality. As soon as a child expresses curiosity about sex, parents can use this simple text and these clear illustrations to provide the information and understanding the child needs.
The beauty of this approach to a delicate topic is that it puts the right words in a parent's mouth (at a time when may parents might understandably be tongue-tied). "This is a story about you," the address to the child begins. It proceeds, calmly and reassuringly, to explain sexuality as a pattern in nature - a pattern that it follows through flowers, animals, and finally human beings. Once a parent has read through and discussed How Babies Are Made with a child, the child has made a sound start toward a healthy understanding of human sexuality.
How Babies Are Made was prepared in consultation with SIECUS - the Sex Information and Education Council of the United States - and the Child Study Association of America.
