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 βthe 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.
The eagerly anticipated follow up to Lambda-nominatedΒ What Makes a Baby,Β from sex educator Cory Silverberg and artist Fiona Smyth,Β Sex Is a Funny WordΒ reimagines “sex talk” for the twenty-first century.
