This 54 page book written by the authors of Wonder of Life is another significant contribution to sex education in literature. Material on male and female anatomy, conception, pregnancy, and birth and development of the baby is presented simply, accurately and without sentimentality, and with a feeling of warmth that should make it acceptable both to parents and to children.
Though written for younger children than the pre-adolescents for which Wonder of Life is designed, A Baby Is Born may well be used in the older age group also.
