God Made Babies: Helping Parents Answer the Baby Question

When children ask “where do babies come from?” they ask because they are curious about where THEY came from. The question is not about sex. This common question all too often leaves parents perplexed about what to say and when to say it.

The Holcombs help parents start the conversation with their children about reproduction by giving them the basic tools to guide them—including specific biblical content and age-appropriate ways of talking to children at different stages. Drawing from the story of creation and how God made the living world to reproduce, God Made Babies helps children to understand the gift of reproduction in the light of God’s goodness and care.

This book equips parents to have important, impactful conversations with their children. Contains a special section for parents and caregivers that provides biblical guidance and offers additional information and resources for conversation.
