Mommy and Me - How I Came to Be: A Mommy & Child Family Story Paperback – March 18, 2020

I bought this book to read to my 5 year old son, it was perfect for his age and our specific family dynamic (single mother by choice that conceived using donor sperm). The book doesn’t get into any medical terms or anatomy, it just simply tells the story of a mom that wants to have a child and does so with the help of a donor and a doctor. It also talks about all of the love this mom has for her child and how all types of families are unique, but that love is the most important thing that makes them all the same.

This is a straightforward, easy to understand story of a single Mom who wanted a baby.Clearly explains the donor process without giving the intricate details. Makes it easy for a young child to understand.Great story for how families are m made and the different kinds of families.

The text is a bit amateurish and the print and graphic quality is definitely sub-par. That said, the messaging is spot on and presented very age-appropriately. I do recommend this book for explaining their origins to sperm donor children. Just don't have high expectations for physical product quality.

This was a great little book that helped me have the conversation with my now 7-year-old about how she came to be. It didn't match our circumstances exactly, but I didn't expect any book to do that. It did lay a great foundation for us to talk and I was able to fill in the holes when needed.

The media could not be loaded. I like the message, but I can't get over the pictures and comic sans font. I guess this is just a personal preference. I've attached a video to help other moms decide if this book is for them.

Amazon made this mistake. This is not part of the real book

Apparent printing error. Within the middle of the book is an entirely different book. Would have returned anyway, too long and wordy for young kids

I bought this for my 2.5 year old and she just loves it. She feels extra loved, wanted, and confident in our family with the help of this book. She likes to look at the page with all of the family members and friends and we say who (from our circle) each person is. Thank you!!
