Description

IT'S SO AMAZING! is a book by Robie H. Harris and Michael Emberley that answers common questions children have about reproduction, babies, sex, and sexuality. Featuring comic-book-style artwork and clear, lively text, the book is designed to reflect elementary-school children's interest in how things work while providing a healthy understanding of their bodies. This newly updated edition covers similar topics as IT'S PERFECTLY NORMAL but is tailored for a slightly younger audience. From the trusted team of Robie H. Harris and Michael Emberley, this classic resource for younger children receives its most ambitious update yet. It provides children age seven and up with honest answers they’re looking for through age-appropriate, reassuring words and accurate, up-to-date, inclusive art. Two cartoon characters, Bird and Bee, voices of kids, talk together to help children feel that they are not the only ones wondering how we all began. The book addresses pregnancy, birth, adoption, bodies, sexuality, gender identity, and safe touching, and supports discussions about straight and LGBTQ+ families and people, making it a comprehensive resource for kids, parents, teachers, and healthcare providers.
