But I Smile Anyway…

Today, I am delighted to share my review of Dr Amir Khan’s new educational book for 6-9 year olds, How Families Are Made.

Come on a journey with award-winning GP DR AMIR KHAN to discover how families begin and how you became part of your family.

Our EXPERTS are famous for their incredible know-how and passion for their subjects, and now they have made it their mission to share that knowledge with you in LITTLE EXPERTS: the inspirational non-fiction series for six- to nine-year-olds.

This incredible non-fiction journey has bold, colourful artwork throughout by Donough O’Malley.

Dr Amir Khan is a full-time GP who has appeared on shows such as GPs Behind Closed Doors and is a regular on ITV’s Good Morning Britain. His adult book The Doctor Will See You Now was a Sunday Times Bestseller.

I was lucky enough to be sent a copy of this book to peruse at my leisure and to take into school, and it was a delight to leaf through. Dr Khan details different types of families at the beginning of the book, and then it goes on to a more scientific, child-friendly form of how male and female anatomies work to create babies. A brief section talks about how the baby develops, ending with how it enters the world. Then there is information about how families can be made when there isn’t a more traditional parental background, e.g. adoption.

The illustrations are gorgeously diverse, eye-catching and full of colour.

Having been through the rigmarole of finding a curriculum and way of teaching Relationship and Sex Education within schools that all parents are comfortable with, I feel this is a lovely book, something I would recommend parents to look at with their children if they choose to help to educate their children about the topic additionally, and could be further education for adults, as they share the book, too.
