Let's Talk About Abortion is a groundbreaking and essential resource designed to help parents, caretakers, and providers discuss the topic of abortion with children ages 6 to 12. Authored by experienced abortion doulas, this book is crafted with the intention of fostering intentional, compassionate, and nonjudgmental conversations about abortion care.

In a landscape where no other children's books in the US use the word "abortion," Let's Talk About Abortion fills a crucial gap. It provides a medically accurate, gender-inclusive, and nonjudgmental resource that acknowledges the diverse and complex nature of abortion care. The book's text is carefully constructed without gender-specific language or a traditional narrative arc, recognizing that each abortion experience is unique and personal.

This book serves as a starting point, offering parents, caretakers, and those involved in young people's lives a thoughtful and sensitive tool to approach discussions about abortion. By avoiding the portrayal of "good" or "bad" reasons for seeking an abortion, the authors ensure that all experiences are respected and validated.

Let's Talk About Abortion is more than just a book; it's a compassionate guide designed to support honest and open dialogue, empowering young readers with knowledge and understanding in a safe and supportive manner.
