It is a twenty-first century children’s picture book about conception, gestation, and birth, which reflects the reality of our modern time by being inclusive of all kinds of kids, adults, and families, regardless of how many people were involved, their orientation, gender and other identity, or family composition. Just as important, the story doesn’t gender people or body parts, so most parents and families will find that it leaves room for them to educate their child without having to erase their own experience.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eMost books about where babies come from leave many of us out. They tell a nice story (mommy + daddy + intercourse = you!) but the truth is that more and more of us are acknowledging the help we get to bring children into our lives. That help might be a doctor, fertility clinic, adoption or foster agency; it might be a turkey baster and a friend; it might be a sperm donor or a surrogate. \u003cem\u003eWhat Makes a Baby\u003c\/em\u003e helps parents tell children a story about where they came from that isn’t just true for them, but true for everyone.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWritten by sexuality educator Cory Silverberg, and illustrated by award-winning Canadian artist Fiona Smyth, \u003cem\u003eWhat Makes a Baby\u003c\/em\u003e is as fun to look at as it is useful to read.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/static1.squarespace.com\/static\/59e57b9529f187abf9bc69e8\/t\/5a38a16641920265d1cdeef2\/1513660796110\/WMAB-Readers-Guide.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eBonus Free Online Readers Guide for Parents can be found at what-makes-a-baby.com\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eHardcover. 36 pages. 23.6 x 1 x 23.6 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003ePublished by Triangle Square, Books for Young Readers.  Printed in China.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eRaised by a children’s librarian and a sex therapist, CORY SILVERBERG grew up to be a sexuality educator and writer.
