A book about bodies, sex, and everything we’re curious about

This book offers a clear, honest, and body-positive introduction to how women’s and men’s bodies look — celebrating their many different shapes, sizes, and forms.

It explains sex and orgasm grounded in biology and respect.

Readers are introduced to different sexual orientations.

The book explains reproduction simply and factually — including how rainbow families can have children.

Finally, it addresses children’s own curiosity.

Concrete, science-based, and free from moralizing, the book empowers children — and the adults around them — to talk openly about the body, love, and where babies come from.
