Description

“The birds and the bees for the donor-conceived generation.” -Melanie McGee Bianchi/Editor/Bold Life Magazine

Noah adores his mommy and daddy. Mommy and Daddy are architects, and while walking together to his first day of school, Noah discovers that they helped design one of the houses in the neighborhood.

Upon arriving at school, Noah learns that his neighbor, Emmett, has a new baby sister who was created ‘with lots of love and a little bit of science.’

This leads Noah to wonder about how he was created, and he runs home after school to ask his parents.

Together, Noah, Mommy and Daddy explore what it means to be donor-conceived and how generosity and genetics combined to create a home built not just by architects, but by love.

This book is for mom & dad families who have conceived using their own egg + a sperm donor via IVF, IUI or ICI.
