Where Did I Come From?

Where Did I Come From? is an older but still widely used picture book that explains sex, conception, pregnancy, and birth through simple cartoon illustrations and frank, humorous text. It walks kids through anatomy, intercourse, and how babies grow, aiming to make the topic less mysterious and scary. Many parents appreciate its straightforwardness and accessible language, especially for curious elementary-age children. However, the style and jokes reflect the time it was written, so families should preview to be sure the tone, images, and level of detail fit their values. Used thoughtfully, it can open the door to honest, age-appropriate conversations about bodies and reproduction.
