Description
"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."--

second graders in the after-school program, because although this book is completely age-appropriate, and the kids themselves will be cool with it because they are super curious, the parents might not be ready to go there yet, and then you will have to have uncomfortable conversations with parents.

A great book that covers gender identity, sexuality, and the beautiful uniqueness that our bodies are. Body positive and LGBT+ friendly, I can't recommend this book enough.
