This book is an imaginative way to respond to a child's never ending question "Where did I come from?"covers in a very few pages a gauntlet of human emotions in small pictorial and word slides. The book is good, and stays away from details of questions that will branch off when read to the child. Every picture is a new discussion between parent/car giver and child.

It avoids theology, and biology- leaving the adult to teach the child their personal values to their child. It is a good read. It says more by not going into details than it does with the words the author wrote. ( )

Beautifully illustrated but probably too philosophical for younger children. Best suited for an adolescent or adult audience. ( )
