“Sing as she listens. Tell her you're near.“
I don't think I would read this to first graders, but I feel like it could be informative during a sex Ed course or teaching about the difference between women and men.

so-soThis book discusses how a baby is developed within the woman body. It is very informative while also displaying a family going through the birth story of their child. The illustrations show a clear depiction of the different stages of fetus growth.

I enjoyed this book and think it would be good to use in class as a share for students with siblings, or when preparing young children for a new sibling or family changes!
pickThe New Baby at Your House (1985) is a nonfiction book by Joanna Cole that helps young children understand and adjust to the arrival of a new sibling. Through simple text and illustrations, it explains what to expect and reassures kids about the changes a new baby brings to the family.
pickThis is a simple, yet effective way to teaching children where babies come from while being scientific, but not too graphic. The words are simple so it is easy for children to follow along with the process of pregnancy. The pictures are simple, and accurate so children can visualize what babies look like through different phases. My favorite quote is, “Light. Bright! Crying and cheer. Loved ones arrive... a baby is here!“
