This delightful, beautifully illustrated book, aimed at children from 2-6yrs, explains in simple words and pictures how Mummy and Mama got some help when they were trying to have a baby and assumes conception did not take place at a clinic.
The book is written in the first person, from the child’s perspective, and explains how a donor gave some of his seeds to help Mummy and Mama. There is a simple explanation of how you need a seed from a man and an egg from a woman to make a baby but there is no reference to sex. It talks about how there are different ways to make a family and they come in all shapes and sizes.
There is no specific explanation of how the donor was found or who exactly they are. The book is designed as a simple starting point for parents to begin sharing the family story with their child. Parents can then build on that with more precise details as and when it feels appropriate. For example, if you have a known donor or have information about the donor you can introduce that into the story, if you wish.
