WHAT MAKES A BABY

Book ID/图书代码： 12070012B56910

English Summary/英文概要： WHAT MAKES A BABY? is a 3-book series by certified sexuality educator and writer Cory Silverberg (he writes for the New York Times website About.com), a new, more current and honest way to explain to children of various ages where all babies come from. In fact, the idea for the book came to Cory from a family he is good friends with. They wanted a book about where babies come from to read to their son, but none of the books out there were fit for their family. The book takes into consideration all ways it is possible to have children today, and the help people get to bring children into their lives. That help might be a doctor, a fertility clinic, an adoption or foster agency; it might be a turkey baster and a friend or it might be a sperm donor or a surrogate.

The first book of the series is aimed to children age 4 and up, the second 7 and up, and the third 11 and up. Please check out the great video that Cory made to explain this project: <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4eJgwOQ-4ck&feature=plcp

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 《婴儿从哪里来》是一套共有三册的系列书籍，来自专门从事性教育的专家级作家科里??席尔瓦伯格（作者同时为纽约时报网站ABOUT.com撰稿）。本书以一种更新、更流行且更为平实的方式向不同年龄段的孩子们解释婴儿诞生的过程。事实上，本书的创作灵感来自于与科里关系十分要好的一家人，他们希望能有一本书供他们向儿子阅读并解释婴儿是怎么来的，但市场上却没有任何一本符合他们要求的书籍。本书将当前所有的婴儿可能产生的来源罗列其中，此外还包括人们在迎接新生儿的过程中所获得的种种帮助。这些帮助可能来自于医生、生育机构、收养机构抑或是福利机构，也可能来自于一名伙计烤夫，一个朋友，又或者一名精子捐献者，甚至代理孕母。 本系列书籍的第一册适用于四岁及以上的儿童，第二册适用于七岁及以上的儿童，而第三册则适用于十一岁及以上的儿童，更多信息，请点击观看科里为此特别制作的讲解视频教程http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4eJgwOQ-4ck&feature=plcp(DC)

REVIEWS:
"With all the different ways people use to conceive now, it is great that someone has come up with a book to teach our children where they came from."--Intimate Bridge 2 Conception
"Let’s face it, we see more and more families who start in non-traditional ways. This can lead to lots of questions, particularly from kids awaiting a sibling. Many of the traditional books about where babies come from simply don’t cut it. If you’re in birth work, you’ll probably enjoy this new children’s book: What Makes a Baby the beauty of it is that it works for all families, no matter how baby came into their lives or who is in their family."--Birth Activist
"Such an amazing group of people working in this project, I simply can’t support it enough!"--Up, Down & Natural
"What Makes a Baby is a beautifully illustrated 32-page hardcover book for children roughly from pre-school to 8-years-old. It’s written to include all kinds of kids, all kinds of adults, and all kinds of families--regardless of how many people were involved, what the orientation, gender identity, or other make up of the family is, or how it came to be that way."--It’s Conceivable
"What Makes a Baby is a children’s picture book about where babies come from that is totally unique and unlike any other because it’s written and illustrated to include all kinds of kids, all kinds of adults, and all kinds of families."--Moms in Babeland
"Talking about sex in a gradual, age-appropriate way is one of the most important things a parent can do to help a child grow up to be a safe, healthy, and responsible adult. What Makes A Baby is a great new tool to make that process easy, factual, and inclusive of all children."--Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention Campaign of North Carolina
