The unique educational book for families with a child wish background
by Ruthild Schulze
Jann is 8 years old and in the 2nd grade. One day a midwife visits his school and tells the children about her work. She explains to them what happens in the mother's body during pregnancy and how a baby is born. Jann has already learned how a baby is born from his parents when he wanted to know where his little sister came from. But now, when he tells his mother about the midwife's visit, he learns that everything was completely different for him. For the first time, he hears words like "fertility center," "Petri dish" and "incubator.And he is happy that his parents went down this difficult path because they wanted him, Jann, so much.At some point, every child wants to know where he or she comes from. Jann's story helps parents who want children and all other parents to find the right words.
