Zak's Safari: A Story about Donor-Conceived Kids of Two-Mom Families | Christy Tyner
2 posts | 2 read | 3 to read
Zak's Safari is a book about donor-conceived kids of two-mom families. When the rain spoils Zak's plan for a safari adventure, he invites the reader on a very special tour of his family instead. Zak shows us how his parents met, fell in love, and wanted more than anything to have a baby-so they decided to make one. In the first half of the book, Zak teaches us about his biological origins. Using simple but accurate language, we learn about sperm and egg cells, known-donors, donors from sperm banks, and instructions called genes that make up who we are. Zak's enthusiasm, combined with his scientific curiosity and gratitude for his inherited "awesome genes" make him the perfect tour guide for this contemporary conception story. The second half of the book celebrates family. Gorgeous illustrations depict Zak and his two moms living the adventure of everyday life: eating meals together, playing at the beach, going for nature hikes and hanging out with friends and family. Zak's Safari aims to provide a starting place for many future conversations with your kids about their conception story and donor. Zak's Safari is written in a style that is genuine, informative, casual, and easy to understand. It will be most meaningful to kids ages 4-8. Zak's Safari is also available in Spanish and French.

Matter of fact, yet age-appropriate, this book addresses a very specific need - how a baby is made in a donor situation. But it is accessible and is a good book to read to any kid as a way of understanding that there are all sorts of ways to make a family. The art is spectacular. Warm and expressive and joyful.

Well executed and age appropriate story that gives a tour of little Zak‘s family, as told by Zak, that explains how his moms chose the perfect donor and made a baby Zak. I‘ve never seen a book that helps answer this question like this, and I‘m so glad it exists! Even has a foreword from the Exec Director of the CA sperm bank. #bbrc #A2Z:Z
