Ages 2-5. Placing basic sex education within a broader context, this large-format picture book tells toddlers and preschoolers that they are very special. Among the many topics introduced are how babies grow within their mothers' bodies, how boys' and girls' bodies differ, how to stay healthy and safe, how to tell bad touching from good touching and what to do about it, and how to deal with emotions like anger, sadness, and fear. Clear, colorful photos on each page show young children of different races, usually playing or interacting with their families. Although other books cover the same bases in terms of information and support, many Christian parents will appreciate the book's overall context of God's love and the church community. According to the introduction, adults interested in using the book with their children can request a parents' guide through Curriculum Publishing, the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), and a toll-free number is supplied.
