There are some fantastic sex education books for 4 year olds that will help you with talking to your child about the birds and bees or the facts of life.

Especially if you have a 4 year old who is starting to ask questions about where babies come from or how babies are made!

Books can help with answering some of these trickier conversations. They have pictures that will engage your child and age-appropriate information that your child will understand.

You will find a wide range of sex education books for 4 year olds in this list, that will help you to talk with your child about absolutely anything to do with sex education.

You’ll find some books about pregnancy and where babies come from. Most (if not all) of the books about where babies come from don’t talk about sexual intercourse. Instead, they just explain that a baby comes from inside the mummy and that it takes a part from a male and a female to make a baby.

You’ll also find books that name the private body parts, as well as talk about diversity, cybersafety, pornography, body safety, families, gender and much, much more!

If you’re looking for a book for a different age child, then have a look at my lists of age-specific sex education books for kids. If you find this list overwhelming, have a look at my favourite sex education for kids, as these are the books I am always recommending to parents.

You’ll find more information about sex education in my Sex Education 101 page. And if you’re a little unsure about what to talk about, then have a look at my age-specific guide to sex education.

Let’s get started!
