Sex Is a Funny Word

Sex Is a Funny Word A Book about Bodies, Relationships, and YOU

A comic book for kids that includes children and families of all makeups, orientations, and gender identies, 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. The eagerly anticipated follow up to Lambda-nominated What Makes a Baby, from sex educator Cory Silverberg and artist Fiona Smyth, Sex Is a Funny Word reimagines "sex talk" for the twenty-first century.

#bodies #feelings a great book for kids that is plain-talking and tells it like it is using 4 characters that in each aspect touch on trust, respect, justice and joy. Probably one of the best books I've seen dealing with the socio-emotional rather than technical aspects. A must have in every elementary library upwards & the book I'd recommend parents buy for their kids.

Really good for reading with children. Definitely worth taking multiple days to read, too. But read it first, for yourself and to give yourself time to think of a few answers to the questions they will ask.
