What it’s about

"Where Did I Come From?" is the classic, gentle, and funny answer to the question every child eventually asks and every parent dreads. Rather than resorting to storks and cabbage patches, the book walks young readers through the real story of how babies are made—covering bodily differences between men and women, making love, sperm and eggs, the nine months of pregnancy, and the day of birth—all in plain, kind, and reassuring language. Illustrated with disarming humor to defuse awkwardness, it gives parents a trusted, shared way to tell the truth without turning red in the face, and gives children accurate knowledge grounded in love.

The through-line

Who it’s for
A curious child (and the parent guiding them) who wants a truthful, understandable answer to where babies come from.
The problem
The child asks where they came from and the parent lacks an honest, clear, non-awkward way to answer. Parents feel embarrassed and children feel confused or fed unbelievable myths.
The plan
  1. Start at the very beginning: babies are made by a man and a woman.
  2. Learn the real names and differences of male and female bodies.
  3. Understand making love and how sperm meets egg.
  4. Follow the baby's growth month by month over nine months.
  5. Understand labor, birth, and the umbilical cord/belly button.
The payoff
The child understands the truth about reproduction without shame. · The parent-child conversation happens with warmth and confidence. · The child feels secure and loved knowing their real origin story.
