New from award-winning author and illustrator Sophie Blackall comes a beautiful picture book full of playful details to help answer the age-old-question..where do babies come from?
Sooner or later, every one of us will have a kiddo who asks, “Where do babies come from?” And now, there’s a new easy and entertaining way to answer that question – the new book from Sophie Blackall, The Baby Tree, helps you explain it all with humor. In the story, you’ll join a curious little boy who asks everyone from his babysitter to the mailman, getting all sorts of funny answers along the way, before his parents gently set him straight. Watch the video below to see what other kids have to say when asked where babies come from, for a good laugh :)
“A delightfully age-appropriate way to give young children the facts about contraception and birth…Another wonderful contribution from Blackall.”
—School Library Journal, Starred Review
