From the publisher:

What Makes a Baby is a book for every kind of family and every kind of kid. It is a 21^st century children’s picture book about where babies come from that reflects the reality of our modern time by being inclusive of all kinds of kids, adults, and families, however they came to be.

Geared to readers from pre-school to 8 years old, it teaches curious kids about conception, gestation, and birth in a way that works regardless of whether or not the kid in question was adopted, conceived using reproductive technologies, at home or in a clinic, through surrogacy, or the old fashioned way, and regardless of how many people were involved, their orientation, gender and other identity, or family composition. Just as important, the story doesn’t gender people or body parts, so most parents and families will find that it leaves room for them to educate their child without having to erase their own experience.

Written by a sexuality educator, Cory Silverberg, and illustrated by award-winning Canadian artist Fiona Smyth, What Makes a Baby is as fun to look at as it is useful to read.

Everything you need to understand women's orgasms—what works, what doesn't and why:

• How to ask for what you need and want
• Multiple orgasms, extended orgasms and energetic orgasms
• The "elusive" orgasm and why some women have difficulty climaxing
• How often we fake them and why
• How personal history shapes sexual experience
• Orgasm as an emotional release
• Masturbation
• The power of fantasy
• Penetration, the G-spot and ejaculation
• Defining the erotic
• The joy of sex toys

There are tons of books filled with advice about orgasms, but many women find their relentless cheerleading lacks an honest discussion of their real needs. Mikaya Heart changes all that. The Ultimate Guide to Orgasm for Women is a forthright and comprehensive exploration of female sexuality. Normalizing all women's experiences, Mikaya Heart provides the information, permission and support women need to enhance their own fulfillment.
