Why and How I Was Born

Rating:
Summary: Learning About the Birds and the Bees
Review: This is the book that my parents handed to me to learn where babies come from. The important part is that it relays the "why" behind our births...God chose each one of us to be born. We are therefore very special. The book uses specific terms for body parts but in a very matter-of-fact and loving way. It emphasizes that the parents are acting in a partnership with God when the baby ("you") is created. Adoption is also well explained. The book jacket of my very old copy (1963)lists the age appropriateness as "7 to 97." It's a wonderful book to read with your children and is part of "The Little Me and the Great Me" series.
