Introduction
The age group that the book covers is early level readers from ages five to nine. The book that I wrote covers a verity of topics such as gender, sexual health, sexuality, adoption, and pregnancy. The problem with this age group for books addressing the topics above is that they’re either too complex or too simple. During this age kids mostly want an answer that will satisfy the question instead of a full education on the subject. These books go into great detail that then can lead to more questions that get too hard to answer. Other books are too simple or complete nonsense such as having a stork deliver the baby or the classic of “Mommy swallowed a watermelon seed”, and these both don’t appease the question.
A lot of the book…show more content… It addresses this is a simple kid-friendly way that answers the “why” questions. Sexuality according to the book is defined as one’s sexual desire, erotic attractions, and sexual behaviors for potential acts of physical, emotional act of sexual pleasure. Sexual health is referred to as a state of physical, emotional, mental, and sexual well being related to sexuality. Although these are two different actions and meanings they closely relate to how I wrote my book. For example pregnancy, this described the act of being sexual and describing sexual health at the same time. The definition of good reproductive health is a good way to describe both of these and how it is addressed in my book. Good reproductive health was defined as satisfying sex-life; if so desired, the capability to reproduce, deciding when and how often, and the freedom to decide not to. In the book, I address these issues of sexuality in a way that is vital for children to understand because of exposure. For example, parents won’t be able to shelter their kids from pregnant people to avoid the conversation of where do babies come from. The book addresses where babies come from in a way that is age appropriate and while satisfying those dreadful “who, what, when, why”…show more content… This book also deconstructs the idea of what society socially constructed ideas of sexuality. Something unique to my book is that it explains the language of sexuality if a kid-friendly way by using terms that they would know.
Finally leading to adoption and pregnancy. Although there are not any direct theories that addressed these topics in depth during the duration of this class other theories can assist them. Starting with theories on sexuality and reproduction. It is obvious in the book that addressed sex but then it took it a step further to explain how babies are made. There is also an indirect point that you don’t have to be in perfect reproductive health in order to have a child.
I think that if my book was a sexual theorist it would William Simon and John Gagnon. I chose this because of the distinction between sex and gender. Sexual scripts are also used in the book but in a correct manner for children. Overall John and Williams theory fits with the over topic and perspective of my
