4.0 out of 5 stars Home is the arms holding you, June 14, 2003
By James "tigerblues" (Pittsburgh, PA United States) - See all my reviews
Sex education for 3-6yr olds should be simple but should also reassure that they started life like everyone else in the world. It goes on to say why birthparents could not be parents is about them and not about the child. Using simple almost coloring-book style outline drawings (which my son does love to color in) it tells how life began, how birth happens, that every child is born to a woman. It also avoids the "a man is in love with a woman" problem that I wanted to avoid and instead talks of biology of a man's sperm and womans egg joining. From there to the "that child is you" part are many places to talk about your child's own adoption. This book is suitable for young child as well as infant adoption and for children that have been in foster care too. The womb that floats on a page unconnected to a woman is harder to explain but over-all this is a good book, much less complicated than many.
