."..a twenty-first century children's picture book about conception, gestation, and birth, which reflects the reality of our modern time by being inclusive of all kinds of kids, adults, and families, regardless of how many people were involved, their orientation, gender and other identity, or family composition."--Amazon.com.

Description

Geared to readers from preschool to age eight, What Makes a Baby is a book for every kind of family and every kind of kid. It is a 21st-century children's picture book about conception, gestation, and birth, which reflects the reality of the modern era by being inclusive of all kinds of kids, adults, and families—regardless of how many people were involved, their orientation, gender and other identity, or family composition.

Just as important, the story doesn't gender people or body parts, so people can apply their own family experience to the text.
