How Babies Are Made

Reach for this book when your child starts asking where they came from or how a baby gets into a mother's tummy. It provides a straightforward, factual, and calm introduction to reproduction by placing human biology within the broader context of the natural world. By starting with the pollination of flowers and the nesting habits of birds, it establishes that making life is a universal and beautiful process shared by all living things. This classic guide uses paper-sculpture illustrations to explain conception, pregnancy, and birth in a clinical yet warm manner. It avoids euphemisms while maintaining a tone of wonder, making it an ideal choice for parents who want to normalize biological conversations. It is especially helpful for families preparing for a new sibling, as it helps a child understand the physical reality of the baby's growth and arrival without confusion or shame.
