Best beginner sex ed book?

Please could I have recommendations for a basic sex ed book suitable for a questioning 7 year old. Obviously I don't want a full graphic version, just something that explains stuff to a 7 year old level. Something that explains basically everything and is a basis for me to answer further questions if needed, I'm just having a hard time approaching how to answer the increasing questions and the books I've found all seem to be aimed at early teen kind of age.

Thanks in advance

It's so amazing. Out of print but easy to buy second hand.

We have Let's Talk About Girls, Boys, Babies, Bodies, Families and Friends.

Boys Guide to Growing up by Phil Wilkinson - not too graphic. Focus is on puberty but some good, basic pages about sex. I ordered 3 books for my 9 year old son and was a bit put off by the other 2 which talked about oral sex in quite graphic detail - so have put those away for a couple of years...

We have the Let’s Talk book too. I bought it for DS1 when was four and wanted to know how his little brother got into my tummy. It is ‘graphic’ in the sense that it does not shy away from explaining all our body parts but it’s accurate and explains what they need to know. We also have the next book now he’s older.
