Sex is a Funny Word: A Book about Bodies, Feelings, and YOU | 
pickThis was the primary book I read with Maya when she was in elementary school to help with sex ed. When I saw it on the Banned Books list, I decided to reread it. It is hands down my absolute favorite book for kids on the subject, and it's a shame it makes the Top 10 #bannedbooks list. It teaches that some words that go along with “sex“ are respect, trust, joy, and justice. It teaches anatomically correct terms and that these body parts ⬇ ⬇
alisiakae are not bad or shameful. It talks about gender identity, and alternative ways to show respect and love if you are not comfortable hugging someone or shaking hands. It is age appropriate and superbly done. #booked2020 #bannedbooks #bookspinbingo @cinfhen @barbarathebibliophage @thearomaofbooks 4y
Velvetfur That sounds like a great book! My friend's kids are too young to be reading or understanding anything right now (!) but I'm going to recommend this to them anyway. Thanks for your review! 👍🏻 4y
alisiakae @Velvetfur I think I started using it when maya was in 3rd it 4th grade. It doesn‘t actually explain intercourse or how babies are created, but sets a great foundation for that subject (edited) 4y

Velvetfur @4thhouseontheleft ah ok, we don't have the grade system in the schools here but my friend's little boy is 4 and has just started school, my other friend's boy is 3 and she has a new baby too 😁 The friend with the 4-year-old will love this, I'm sure 👍🏻 4y
TheAromaofBooks Great progress!! 4y
Cinfhen Great review!!! 4y
BarbaraTheBibliophage Sounds like I should recommend this to our son for our 10 y.o. granddaughter. She thinks she's *sooo* worldly, but I'm sure this would be a good idea. 4y
alisiakae @BarbaraTheBibliophage I think this is definitely a great pic for a 10 year old 4y
