Every child deserves to see their birth or family story reflected in books about where babies come from, and this is what Making a Baby is all about. All families start in their own special way, and every family is amazing.

In this honest, accessible illustrated guide to how babies are made, young readers can find out exactly what is needed to grow a baby, from introducing the basic building blocks of life such as sperm and eggs, to explaining the different ways that these building blocks can be put together to create a family.

Working closely with a leading national LGBT organisation, this inclusive guide to Making a Baby covers sex, sperm and egg donation, IUI, IVF, surrogacy and adoption, as well as explaining how a baby grows in the womb and about different kinds of births.

Written in gentle and accessible language that can be shared with younger children or read alone by confident readers, we hope this book and its charming illustrations will provide the stepping stone for every parent to have an open conversation with their child about how babies are made, and their family began.

Riley ★★★★★

My kid asked how babies are made and I froze, but this book walked us through it in a way that actually made sense to her. The inclusive approach meant we could talk about different family setups without it feeling forced or awkward. We've read it three times already.

Zoe ★★★★★

I was so relieved to find a book that explains donor conception and same-sex parents in a way my toddler can actually understand and enjoy. The illustrations are warm and inclusive, showing families that look like ours without making it feel forced or awkward.

Michael ★★★★★

Finally, a kids' book that shows IVF and donor conception alongside the usual pregnancy story. My child with two dads got to see a family that looks like ours. The gentle, inclusive illustrations made explaining everything feel natural.
