Rachel Greener is a children's books editor from London who has
edited fiction, nonfiction and picture books about everything from
the ancient Egyptians and ocean plastics to teenage detectives and
zombie goldfish. She wrote this book because she thinks it is
important that all children have a chance to see their family story
reflected in a book about where babies come from.
Clare Owen graduated from art school in 2009 and has been working
as a freelance illustrator ever since. She works on a big variety
of fun projects, creating pictures and patterns for home products,
stationery, picture books, magazines, and packaging--all influenced
by her love of color, nature, and mid-century design. Originally
from Cornwall, she now lives in Bristol with her boyfriend and two
cats.

Selection
"This babymaking primer takes a decidedly inclusive approach to the
topic, steering clear of rigidly gendered language and featuring a
wide range of family members and configurations. Using a muted
color palette, Owen's cleanly rendered art has a retro aesthetic
and includes people of different races, genders, shapes, and
abilities—happy-looking families all . . . An authentic and honest
celebration of babies, families, and diversity." —Horn
Book
"A book that really tells it like it is, from the sex act to birth,
without shying away from topics such as male, female, and intersex
genders, egg and sperm donations, and C-sections, this should be
available in all public and school libraries." —School Library
