Where babies come from book without the nonsense

[cabbageaccuse]

Can I look for recommendations for a book about where babies come from for a 7 year old please? Specifically I'm looking for one without tra nonsense.
I found 'Let's Talk About the Birds and the Bees' on amazon but am unsure if it's got anything other than facts from the pics alone.
Thanks!

Has your child shown an interest?

Can you tell your child?

Others will be along with age appropriate stuff I'm sure.

What sex is the child- have you done puberty? My DDs both started 8.5 so if a girl and you haven't that's a good place to start. Some have stuff about reproduction in age appropriate way as obv it's all about sexually maturing.

The let's talk ones are pretty good iirc.

What books about where babies come from have TRA nonsense? Serious question.

My DD enjoyed the Babette Cole ones - Mummy Laid an Egg and Where Willy Went.

Thanks guys!

Yes he started asking recently - not in depth it was actually more in relation to "if two women can get married and have a baby, why do they need a man?" He was trying to work out the reason for needing a man so much that I think it's time to just let him know the basics and I thought a kid specific book would be easier.

I don't know that any particularly do feature that nonsense but honestly isn't it in everything these days? I didn't want to shell out money for a book only to have to return it because it's talking about that stuff.

Thanks again!

I bought ‘How Did I Begin?’ for DD when she was about that age.

We have both Let's Talk About the Birds and the Bees and Mummy Laid An Egg. Definitely recommend both.

‘What Makes A Baby’ by Cory Silverberg is a good option. Written I think with the intent of being very inclusive of transgender people, but is VERY clear on the concept of sexual dimorphism (some bodies have eggs, some bodies have sperm, some bodies have none, but you need an egg and a sperm to make a baby). It’s written in a very ‘blank slate’ kind of way, leaving it open to the reader to introduce their own or other’s conception stories, and crucially, their own understanding of sex and gender. We used it to explain to our kids how they were conceived (we are a 2 mum family). Not big on the mechanics of how egg and sperm get together - this is open for your explanation too, as again this might work differently for different individuals, so I suppose it depends what you are looking for, how comfortable you are answering questions and providing detail, and how old your child is.

I think well before this age DD had a basic understanding of reproduction from choosing 'Lifecycle of a ....' nature books to bring home in reception. The first one she ever chose was 'lifecycle of a snail', and tbh after starting with hermaphrodites, mammals were a doddle.
