Age-appropriate books for kids about where babies come from
There are some fantastic age-appropriate books about where babies come from, that will help parents explain this important fact of life to their child.
The books listed here are all books that explain where babies come from WITHOUT mentioning sexual intercourse. So there is no mention of penises going into vaginas, which means they talk about how it happens more simply.
Not sure where to start? I’ve rounded up my favourite books for explaining where do babies come from to make choosing one easier.
If you’re unsure how to get started, you will find more in this blog post about explaining where babies come from.
If you would like to talk about sexual intercourse, then you will need to look at the booklist about how babies are made.
If you’re looking for a book on a different topic, look at my main list of sex education books for children. It includes over 40+ topics!
You’ll also find more information about sex education on my Sex Education 101 page.
Children’s books about where babies come from
You’ll find an age-specific list of children’s books about where babies come from. All of the books on this topic are currently showing.
All of the ages are visible, regardless of whether they’re relevant (or not). If no books appear for your chosen age, then it means there aren’t any relevant books.
To find relevant books for your child’s age, click on their age, and the appropriate books will appear.
NOTE: Before passing any book to your child or reading it with them, you should read it yourself first. I might think it is a great book for a certain age child or that the information is valuable, but you may disagree. Try to choose books that reflect your values and the messages you want your child to receive.
I don’t have any books on this topic for this age yet. Try another topic above.
