Synopsis

This is a children's book explaining in an engaging, creative and imaginary way how two little girls came into the world through in-vitro fertilisation (IVF). The book was inspired by a conversation between a five-year-old girl and her mum at bedtime when the former asked, "Mummy, how did I come into this world? Did I come out of your tummy?"

About this title

About the Author

At forty I had my first child, named Alice, born after completing nine cycles of IVF over three years with my husband. When I was forty-two, I was successful on my tenth, and final, IVF cycle with the arrival of our second child, Ruby. I always believed that my husband and I would eventually achieve our dream of having our own family together. I am so grateful to science and the medical profession for helping us achieve this and for the incredible support of our family and friends. I am also the author of a self-help book for adults navigating their own IVF journey, based on my own experience, called Sticky Pineapple and A Powerful Mind: Waiting For A Heartbeat.
