What Makes a Baby

Recently I came across a review of sex-educator and author Cory Silverberg's new book What Makes a Baby and was intrigued. Having been through several more IVF cycles and an ectopic pregnancy since Sunnyboy was born, this is a topic Sunnyboy and I have discussed often and Sunnyboy knows that making a baby involves an egg, a sperm and a uterus. Until now I had been unable to find a children's book about reproduction that didn't only feature the "mummy and daddy and a bed" method of baby-making, so I was delighted when Cory asked Seven Stories Press to send us a copy of his book to read together and review.



It was very exciting to receive such a beautiful book in the post and it was a joy to read a book that both tells the story of how all babies are made, giving the essential facts in a simple and sweet way, and provides an opportunity to tell the story of how Sunnyboy was made and to talk about the different stories of other babies, as well as to answer his questions about conception, gestation and birth.

The book also asks questions about the readers' stories; who helped bring together the sperm and the egg that made you, who was happy that it was YOU who grew and who was waiting for you to be born?



We love the wonderful, colourful illustrations by award-winning Canadian artist Fiona Smyth, especially the egg and sperm dancing together!



We highly recommend this charming book to anyone with a young child and, as it says on the cover, it truly is "a book for every kind of family and every kind of kid". It's a book that we will treasure and definitely be reading again and again. You can find out more and download the free Reader's Guide at the What Makes a Baby website.

Kids Grow Wild (weeding and watering)



We applied to take part in the Britmums' #KidsGrowWild Challenge and were sent a fantastic gardening starter kit.





Sunnyboy was particularly impressed with the gardening gloves and set to work weeding.













He also loved the green (his favourite colour) watering can.





So we have been busy weeding, watering, planting seeds, tending to our butterfly garden and waiting for strawberries.

This post is an entry for BritMums’ #KidsGrowWild Challenge. The challenge is sponsored by Moneysupermarket.com, highlighting the enjoyment we can get from our outdoor spaces.
