From the expert team behind IT'S PERFECTLY NORMAL and IT'S SO AMAZING! comes a book for younger children about their bodies — a resource that parents, teachers, librarians, health care providers, and clergy can use with ease and confidence.

Young children are curious about almost everything, especially their

bodies. And young children are not afraid to ask questions. What makes

me a girl? What makes me a boy? Why are some parts of girls' and boys'

bodies the same and why are some parts different? How was I made?

Where do babies come from? Is it true that a stork brings babies to

mommies and daddies?

IT'S NOT THE STORK! helps answer these endless and perfectly normal questions that preschool, kindergarten, and early elementary school children ask about how they began. Through lively, comfortable language and sensitive, engaging artwork, Robie H. Harris and Michael Emberley

address readers in a reassuring way, mindful of a child's healthy desire

for straightforward information. Two irresistible cartoon characters, a

curious bird and a squeamish bee, provide comic relief and give voice to

the full range of emotions and reactions children may experience while

learning about their amazing bodies. Vetted and approved by science,

health, and child development experts, the information is up-to-date,

age-appropriate, and scientifically accurate, and always aimed at helping

kids feel proud, knowledgeable, and comfortable about their own bodies,

about how they were born, and about the family they are part of.
