Abstract

How does a baby begin? What makes a baby male or female? How is a baby born? Children have plenty of questions about reproduction and babies - and about sex and sexuality, too. It's So Amazing! provides the answers - with fun, accurate, comic-book-style artwork and a clear, lively text that reflects the interests of children age seven and up in how things work, while giving them a healthy understanding of their bodies. Created by the author and illustrator of It's Perfectly Normal, this forthright and funny book has been newly updated for its fifteenth anniversary.

Sex Education

Abstract

Not sure what - or how much - information to share with children and teens regarding sex and sexual health? Do you fear what they might ask? Or how to respond to their questions? Or whether you even know the "answers" yourself?

Saleema Noon knows all about these fears and concerns. An expert in sexual health education and stepparent to two teenage daughters herself, she understands the challenges adults face when addressing sensitive topics with their kids.

In Talk Sex Today, Noon delivers an intelligent and sensible blend of current, inclusive, and practical information for children and teens - and the adults who love them. Noon builds on the foundational work of iconic sexual health educator Meg Hickling and her bestselling Speaking of Sex books to offer adults a break-through guide on teaching "body science."

Sex Education

Autism Spectrum Disorder (includes Asperger Syndrome)

Abstract

This carefully written and illustrated book provides an explanation of sex for people with autism and special education needs and disabilities (SEND). It helps readers to understand the physical processes as well as important issues such as consent and sexual safety, helping them to develop positive relationships.

Many people with autism and SEND have or will have intimate relationships. Often sex is alluded to, rather than being carefully explored. This can create confusion around consent, sexual health, and pregnancy, and cause people to turn to dubious online information. This book frankly explains sex so that the reader has a clear understanding of what constitutes sex, knowledge of the proper names for sexual organs and sexual activities, and is aware of the potential physical consequences of having sex.

Abstract

A comic book for kids that includes children and families of all makeups, orientations, and gender identities, Sex Is a Funny Word is an essential resource about bodies, gender, and sexuality for children ages 8 to 10 as well as their parents and caregivers.

Much more than the "facts of life" or ?the birds and the bees," Sex Is a Funny Word opens up conversations between young people and their caregivers in a way that allows adults to convey their values and beliefs while providing information about boundaries, safety, and joy.

Sex Is a Funny Word is the first sex education book for this age group that is inclusive of lesbian, gay, and bisexual experience as well as gender creative and gender-nonconforming children. The book is also inclusive of trans and intersex bodies and lived experience.

Patiently forthcoming with lessons your parents redacted, this necessary conversation stresses consent, sex positivity, and the right to be curious about your body. The dialogue focuses on the dynamics of sex, rather than the mechanics, as Grandma reminds readers that sex is not marriage or reproduction, and doesn?t look the same for everyone. Instead, each person?s sexuality is their very own to discover, explore, and share if they choose.

Abstract

Comment expliquer que certains d?entre nous soient homosexuels, d?autres hétérosexuels et plusieurs plus ou moins bisexuels? D?où vient notre orientation sexuelle, et l?homosexualité en particulier? Est-elle normale? Contre nature? Naît-on ainsi ? Résulte-t-elle de déterminismes biologiques? De l?éducation familiale? d?expériences précoces? S?agirait-il plutôt d?un choix? Et pourquoi certains sont-ils homophobes? L?étendue de l?ignorance en matière d?orientation sexuelle est, encore de nos jours, aussi consternante que regrettable, et notre système d?éducation ne semble pas vouloir remédier à la situation. L?information existe pourtant mais, selon toute apparence, elle est encore très mal diffusée et, lorsqu?elle l?est, souvent confuse. C?est pourquoi l?auteur propose ici une présentation à la fois synthétique et vivante des connaissances actuelles. Ce livre s?adresse à quiconque s?intéresse à ces questions qui, pourtant, nous concernent tous.

Abstract

The award-winning team who brought us My Brother Charlie present a companion book that celebrates the power of water for those who have autism.

Like many kids on the autism spectrum, Charlie finds solace and empowerment in pools, ponds, sprinklers, visiting the aquarium, and swimming in the ocean. Through his adventures and discoveries, he shows the world that even though he has autism, autism doesn't have him.

In this beautiful ode to the love between siblings Callie and Charlie, we return to the characters from our award-winning book My Brother Charlie, who bring whimsy to everyday fun for all children, while showing readers that kids who may experience the world in different ways can help us see the wonders of swimming to your own rhythm.
