A comic book for kids that includes children and families of all makeups, orientations, and gender identities, 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.
This is so perfectly and beautifully inclusive, wow. It answers all the common questions kids have about sex and gender and their bodies, and so much more. Even the most complex topics are covered in a way that makes it seem so simple, encouraging kids to think for themselves, and get to know themselves, in a healthy, developmentally-appropriate way.
