Description

Sheldon is a turtle who lives in the deep blue sea and wiggles and jiggles every night to get himself ready for bed. One evening, he asks his parents the age-old question: Where do babies come from? The story the parents tell is an underwater search for the perfect egg—to make a turtle just like Sheldon. The Search for the Magical Egg is a beautifully illustrated book for parents to read to children ages 5 to 7, and it’s designed to help children who were conceived through IVF understand how they were born and how deeply they are loved.

Can’t wait to see the rest of the books to come.

My wife and I recently underwent IVF using a donor egg. Before we had to meet with a therapist. This book is explains IVF exactly the way she reccomended we inform our child as they grow up. My wife and I absolutely love the book.
