It's so amazing! By Robie Harris

Harris, Robie. (1999). It's so amazing! Cambridge, Massachusetts: Candlewick Press
 
While this book has many benefits about reproduction and where babies come from this is definitely not a book I would suggest as a class read aloud. It is one I would recommend for parents who have young children who are about to be siblings and wonder how that baby got in mommys tummy and how it's going to get out. I would also recommend it for kids who are entering puberty and who's bodies are changing. Easy for kids to understand. The bird and the bee help keep things light and comfortable. They help guide adults in terms of approaching this topic with kids, and they help keep kids engaged.This book is thorough. You have something specific that needs to be addressed, this book will probably cover it.It was non-judgemental, acknowledged diversity, and did not pretend that human sexuality and reproduction only means natural reproduction and childbirth, and that human families are only headed by married heterosexual couples. Families of any make-up have a strong chance of seeing their family reflected here.
