The topic of where babies come from, what sex is, and what puberty is can be uncomfortable and complicated topics for parents to address. Through both scientific and child-friendly images, this book teaches children the facts about these very real and unavoidable stages of life. Great care is taken in the scientific terminology and graphics used to avoid the sexually-charged or incorrect language that children could hear from their peers. Instead, the focus is on education children on the science of the human body in an accessible and appealing way.

- Evaluation Criteria
- Design
- The design of this book both invites the reader to open it, as well as accurately informs the readers through visuals as they move through the text. The illustrations are all “appropriate and complement the text,” by making the very confusing, sometimes uncomfortable and unclear information regarding sex, birth, etc.very clear, concise, and informational. The images are painstakingly scientifically accurate, which “helps communicate the subject matter clearly and effectively.”
