Books for egg donated children, IYSWIM

[lilacmamacat]

Not sure that this is in the right place but it seems as good as any...

I'm looking for recommendations for books for preschool age children who were were conceived through egg donation. I know of a few (One more giraffe, Tabitha and Timothy grow a flower, The pea that was me and Mommy, was your tummy big (which doesn't sound like egg donation but hey ho)) but they don't seem very easy to get hold of or even still in print.

Does anyone else have any suggestions?

Thanks, yes, should have said I'm after books for boys.

Have you tried the Donor Coception Network? They have a range of books like this for young children. I think they are called Our Story and there's one for every different type of donor conception

Hi Quangle, yes, thanks, I looked at those but they seem to be a kind of instruction manual (for want of a better phrase) of how to go about telling children. What I'm after is stories that can be read to children.

No they have stories too. They do do "how to tell" guides but they also have stories. Here is one

Oh, didn't see those. Have you read them? Are the any good? Saw a review for The Pea that as me on Amazon which gave it 1/5. Obviously not the book you mean but they do seem to be pretty variable.
