Following the birth of her miracle baby - from the one viable embryo - Laura decided to create a story that allowed other families to talk about and celebrate the many different ways that babies arrive into the world. This magical story for preschool children introduces a variety of robot families and their babies, of all shapes and sizes, and explains, in simple terms, the different ways families can be formed as well as the range of emotions parents can feel in relation to starting a family. Robo-Babies is a warm and gentle story for sharing with children who perhaps arrived into their families down a more complicated path, but is also perfect for sharing with all children as a way to normalise the many different ways babies can meet their parents.
“A thoughtful and entertaining, robot-themed, picture book for early years and preschool children that can serve as a foundation for conversations about premature birth, adoption, surrogacy and IVF.” - Booktrust ; “The bright, bold illustrations contribute to the upbeat feel of this very special book, which deserves a place on everyone's bookshelf.” - Library Girl and Book Boy ; “Brilliantly accessible with lively and colourful illustrations, this is a fantastic picture book with an important and inclusive message at its heart.” - The Book Activist ; "A read so lovely I had to share, a heartwarming & child-friendly way to teach children the ways families are made. It touches on fertility issues, babies born through IVF, surrogacy, adoption & premature babies. A really beautiful & sensitive story" - @alexgrice_ on Instagram ; "This book covers everything from adoption to donor conception in such a lovely way; I truly feel like I want to buy a copy of this book for every child I know (which would cost me as I work in a school!) because this is such an important read" - @thewhitstablemum on Instagram ; "It is one truly important book to have in any collection and a gorgeous one too" - @mancunian_mum on Instagram
