"Written by a leading expert in young children's development, The Science of Babies is a treasure. Every single word and illustration is carefully thought-out in concert with the guidance Deborah Roffman's parenting books provide about what children want to know, what they need to know, and when they should know it."

Malika DeLancey, Elementary School Principal
"Debbie came to my son’s school to speak, and I was immediately hooked on her philosophy and candor! I am forever grateful that I heard her when my children were both under 3, and now, The Science of Babies has given me the words and tools I need to talk about our bodies and the process of new life with confidence.”
Chrissy Kelleher, Parent
"This book is a wonderful, age-appropriate exploration of human sexuality through easy-to-understand information and visuals that engage children's natural curiosity. I will use it with my students for years to come!"
Sarah Shelton, Third Grade Teacher
"How lucky are parents and early childhood educators that master teacher Deborah Roffman has written this inclusive, revolutionary board book for our youngest children. Using basic concepts like same/different and inside/outside to teach about people, relationships, eggs, sperm, genitals and birth, she's provided--finally!--the thorough, friendly guide we and children need."
