This book would have to stand on its own. I realized that this book could not and would not work as a “shorter/cut-up/slimmed-down version” of IT’S PERFECTLY NORMAL. I also understood that kids this age are very interested in science and how things work and that would be a way to talk about how babies are made. And kids that age, even though their parents and teachers don’t think so, they do wonder and want to know about sex.” That’s when I realized that this book would have to talk about sex - not through the lens of puberty as in IT’S PERFECTLY NORMAL - but through the lens of where babies come from. And they said to me, “Almost everything that’s in IT’S PERFECTLY NORMAL, but not all the details, and less about puberty and more about babies and how they are made. When I visited schools and talked with school age kids, ages 10 to 14 or so, I asked them the same question. I asked them what should be in a book on sexual health for these younger children ages 7 and up. I immediately went to all the experts I had gone to when creating IT’S PERFECTLY NORMAL. This book was created in response to requests from parents, educators, librarians, health professionals and clergy for a book on sexual health for younger children, ages 7 and up.
