If you’re looking for a book to help you with talking to your 6 year old child about the birds and bees, then you will want to have a look at this list of sex education books. It includes all of the most popular and well-respected books on this topic. Plus, some that are not as well-known but are equally as good!

This is an age where books can help parents out a lot! Six year olds are often thinkers who spend a lot of time pondering the mysteries of the world. And one of the greatest mysteries is about where babies come from or how are babies made. The right book means that you don’t have to struggle with working what you can (and can’t) say to your child.

You’ll find a wide range of sex education books for 6 year olds in this list. Some are very general and cover absolutely everything. Others may be more specific and just talk about the one topic, like pregnancy, body parts or families.

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!
