What is How Was I Born? : a child's journey through the miracle of birth about?

<p>Ever since the publication of the magnificent third edition of <i>A Child Is Born</i>, Lennart Nilsson has devoted himself to retelling this magical story especially for children. <i>How Was I Born?</i> closely follows the experience of Mary who is nearly five and her family as they lovingly prepare to welcome a new baby.&nbsp;&nbsp;The book matches Mary's insatiable curiosity, impatience, and concern with gentle, reassuring information. Nilsson's spectacular photographs illustrate Mary's actual questions: when she wonders how big the baby is, one photo shows an ant on her brother's fingertip, opposite the exact image of her future sibling at that time.&nbsp;&nbsp;When she asks how the baby eats, the reader sees her drinking through a straw as the baby-to-be feeds through the umbilical cord. Meant to be read by a child alone or with a parent, <i>How Was I Born?</i> answers all the questions children ask about pregnancy and childbirth—the biological as well as the emotional ones.&nbsp;&nbsp;Perfect for children aged five and up, it is also a wonderful book of all ages.</p> <p>Brief explanations of the reproductive process with chapter titles such as "How
