Wonderfully age appropriate storytelling of such a complex path. My kids (4-11) were all very engaged and loved the imagery. Stephanie is a brilliant author and depicts the IVF journey like no one else has before. Well deserving of her awards. Highly recommend!

Sticky Pineapple and the Little Precious Gems: How I Came Into This World is a beautifully honest and gentle way to explain IVF to children. As a school welfare coordinator, I truly appreciate how the story balances clarity with warmth, making a complex topic feel safe and understandable for young minds. It’s heartfelt, age-appropriate, and full of care—an invaluable resource for families and educators alike.

This is an absolutely beautiful and thoughtfully written book that brings to life a question many children may have about how they came to be. What makes it truly special is how gently and clearly it explains IVF in a way that children can understand, without ever feeling confusing or clinical. At the same time, it celebrates the love, connection, and adoration between parent and child, making young readers feel cherished and secure. The storytelling is heartfelt and relatable. I highly recommend this book to any family looking for a tender, accessible way to talk about IVF while emphasizing just how deeply a child is loved.

We bought both books and absolutely loved them. They are so needed in the world for families who are or have navigated this journey. The children’s book is beautifully written and illustrated with creative and imaginary themes that my children (also born via ivf) laughed and engaged with.
