As far as I can tell, almost every book on this subject is self-published, so you have to accept that it won't be quite as good as a normal picture book. For example, it's a paperback, and on the first page of the story it says, "Once upon time" instead of "Once upon A time." Also, it is definitely overpriced for a paperback. Once you understand these things, it is a cute story. The first time I read it, I was a little put off by the eggs and sperm being called "seeds." The daddy rabbit talks about putting their two halves together and putting them in the mommy rabbit's tummy. It seems a little awkward, but then I started thinking about how you could explain it that wouldn't be awkward, and there probably isn't a way. For a small child, it is a good start. You can get into the nitty gritty when they are older. Also, the description of how the donor gives them the egg is a bit odd--but then again, the reality is just as odd. I will make a book of our own for our children, but, as my husband said, it will be good for our twins to see that egg donation is a common enough thing that there are "real" books about it too. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Simple explanation of a complex issue... *by T***G on Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2008* As a surrogate mom, I am always intrigued with the creative ideas authors have come up with to explain infertility to children at a young age. This book explains in simple terms, the concept of egg donation.It begins simple enough with the desire to have a child and that two parts are needed, one from a male and one from a female. (You will not find graphic sperms and eggs here. This is an introduction book.) The idea is illustrated through comparison to a cookie, in the sense that one needs two cookie halves to make a whole. Later in the story two seeds connect together much like puzzle pieces making it very simple for children to understand.We learn one has to wait to see if a baby will grow and of the sadness when the attempt fails. It is appropriate the lady rabbit knocking on the door with the "gift of life" is one they have never seen before. Often in egg donation or surrogacy, the helping female is a stranger. Nicely done!There is no mention of the doctor. We move quickly to how the "gift of life" is connected with "the other tiny itsy bitsy half we need" from Comet (Daddy rabbit) and children are reminded of the two cookie halves again, nicely tying the story together.After some time, the rabbits have a new baby, thus creating a family. The illustrations are fantastically bright through out which children will thoroughly enjoy. I see both parents and single moms and dads using this book to explain egg donation to their child at a young age. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good for laying the groundwork about talking to your kids about egg donation *by O***N on Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2015* This book is good for what it's intended for, which is to acclimate your young egg donation child to the concept of where they came from. It is NOT designed to explain all the science, psychology, and raw emotion involved with infertility and egg donation.Again, it's great for putting the concepts about how some parents can't have kids easily and find different ways to overcome that challenge. The idea being that later in life when your egg donation child is old enough to really understand where they came from that they will be open to the idea that its' not weird or strange. That's the purpose behind this book.Do not expert a guide on how to talk to your teenager about egg donation. Expect a cute story to lay some groundwork for your 4 or 5 year old. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/8073568-a-tiny-itsy-bitsy-gift-of-life-an-egg-donor](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/8073568-a-tiny-itsy-bitsy-gift-of-life-an-egg-donor) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-26*
