About the Sex Is A Funny Word

Sex Is a Funny Word is the first sex education book for children aged 8 to 10 that is inclusive of lesbian, gay, and bisexual experiences as well as gender creative and gender non-conforming children.
The eagerly anticipated follow up to Lambda-nominated What Makes a Baby, from sex educator CORY SILVERBERG and artist FIONA SMYTH, Sex Is a Funny Word reimagines "sex talk" for the twenty-first century. A comic book for kids that includes children and families of all makeups, orientations, and gender identities, Sex Is a Funny Word is an essential resource about bodies, gender, and sexuality for children ages 8 to 10 as well as their parents and caregivers. Much more than the "facts of life" or "the birds and the bees," Sex Is a Funny Word opens up conversations between young people and their caregivers in a way that allows adults to convey their values and beliefs while providing information about boundaries, safety, and joy.
