It's Perfectly Normal by Robie H. Harris
Much like It's So Amazing by the same author that I had to read last year, this book discusses sex and babies. It also discusses things like puberty, abstinence/birth control/abortion, masturbation, sexual abuse, sexually transmitted diseases, and homosexuality. On some level, I appreciate that this book exists, as it makes discussing these things with your children somewhat easier. Or would, if the child in question wasn't put off by the pictures. I will say this: due to the nature of what is contained in these pages, it may be best to let your child explore the content on their own, and come to you with any questions. I had those awkward moments for you, so take my advice.
On a serious note, this book has a place in society. It covers awkward topics in a non-threatening way, that will ultimately open the lines of communication between parents and children.
