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.

"Well written and beautifully illustrated, apparently one of many more books to come. A nurse practitioner wrote this book and she specializes in mental health and also shares her IVF journey. For those who have gone through IVF, egg donation etc this is a great book for yourself to read to your kids who were born via these methods or in general. 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.
From Kirkus Review: Pamintuan's underwater illustrations recall the graphics of the film Finding Nemo, He perfectly depicts the turtle family's disappointment as not producing a hatchling but also their joy at finding an appropriate egg. Morrison's heartfelt story could be an effective way to explain to kids difficult concepts like egg donation. A well-conceived fertility lesson that explains egg donation and embryo adoption"
