Birds and Bees by the Book

A six-book series by Patricia Weerakoon

With so many messages about sexuality, gender and identity around them, our children need a safe space to learn about these topics now more than ever.

Designed for parents and carers to read with children aged 7 to 10, Birds and Bees by the Book has been created to help you have these conversations with your children and at your own pace.

Written by renowned sex educator Patricia Weerakoon, the six books in this set are designed to be read in whichever order suits you and your child.

This is a great Christian resource to start or continue conversations regardless of how much your children know, how much you have already discussed with them or how you feel about talking about this topic.

I am so happy and privileged to endorse these books and the online parents’ resource. The book are so simple, factual, engaging and readable, and all from a Christian perspective

Dr Tina Lamont, Director of the Excellence Centre and Assistant Principal

One of greatest challenges as Christian parents and educators is trying to find ways to teach Sexuality and Gender in a countercultural way, through the biblical perspective.

Joshua Mansfield, Central Church, Ipswich

I’d love to recommend these books to all Christians, not just Christian parents – because they bring clarity to complex conversations, they begin conversations that have probably already begun without parents knowing, and because they remind us again and again of the gospel.

How do you answer your children’s questions about sex, gender and why various families are different? Do you struggle to come up with a succinct, age-appropriate answer and find yourself going “uhhh, uuuum…”.

This series of books approaches sensitive topics in an evidence based, respectful, biblical way.
