Synopsis

"Where do babies come from?" It’s a question almost every child asks – and one almost every parent dreads.

In reality, there is no need to dread the question, especially when armed with this gospel-centered book on sex education. Written by Brad Wilcox, who has taught maturation clinics in elementary schools for years and authored the book Growing Up: Gospel Answers about Maturation and Sex, this book gives parents helpful ideas on how to talk with their children about sex. Parents will learn about the seven Ps of sex education:

· Process - Look at teaching as a process
· Personalize - Personalize the experience
· Private - Speak in private
· Probing - Ask probing questions
· Point-blank - Offer point-blank information
· Positive - Be positive about the subject
· Perspective - Teach sexuality from a gospel perspective

The illustrated potion of the book provides parents with appropriate answers to questions typically asked by young children. Parents and older children can use the Question and Answer section at the back of the book as a guide in opening a more advanced discussion of these sensitive topics. Moms and dads will especially welcome the open dialogue this book promotes and the simple, gospel-oriented explanations it provides to help children understand the origins of life and appreciate the sacredness of our God-given creative powers.

About the Author

Brad Wilcox was born in Provo, Utah right on Christmas Day. His older brothers stayed with their grandma and were terribly worried that Santa would not find them. However, Santa came through, as he always does. Many years have passed since then, and Brad and his wife, Debi, have had four children of their own: Wendee, Russell, Whitney, and David. Brad teaches at Brigham Young University and has conducted maturation clinics for fifth and sixth graders throughout Utah. He finished this book just before leaving to serve as the president of the Chile Santiago East Mission.

BRIAN CALL, the illustrator, has had a lifelong interest in drawing. He took his first art class at age nine and later went on to study art, graduating from Ricks College and Brigham Young University. After graduation he returned to his hometown of Idaho Falls, Idaho, where he began a career as an illustrator. He has done illustration work for many religious magazines across the nation, including the Ensign and the Friend. Brian is also the illustrator of the children’s book Sarah’s Cloud. He and his wife, Michelle, are the parents of five children: Brichelle, Natalie, Brittany, Bryant, and Kyle.
