What Parents Should Know

Sensitive Topics

The book is entirely secular and scientific. It avoids the harsh realities of predation or 'survival of the fittest,' focusing instead on the protective qualities of the egg and the miracle of birth. It is a very safe, gentle introduction to biology.

Ideal Reader

A reflective 6-year-old who loves collecting 'treasures' like stones or acorns, or a child who is about to become an older sibling and is curious about how life starts.
