Summary
Details

"Are you looking for the right words to explain to your child they were conceived via donor eggs?

The Journey to You: An Egg Donation Story is a beautifully written children's rhyming picture book. Helping families share with their little ones they were conceived via donor eggs.

It explains, in a gentle and age-appropriate way, the journey of how mummy and daddy needed help to have a baby. With the help of a special lady and her eggs, their dream came true!

This book is perfect for those families who are wanting to start the conversation about donor egg conception to their young children.

Let's hear a great story about you and me

and how you've extended our family tree.

A long time ago, long before you were here,

your mummy and daddy shed many a tear.

We both were quite happy. But that wasn't all

As something was missing: a baby so small.

Praise for The Journey to You

""A beautifully written and illustrated book that conveys the amazing journey of a donor conceived family to help normalise the way our little one came into to our lives... through the generosity and kindness of another. Highly recommend to anyone with a donor conceived bub, or even friends of family of someone donor conceived to better understand."" -Joel Rodda

""The anxiety around how to make sure my little one grows up knowing his donor egg story in an appropriate way, has always hung over me. Until this book! Joyfully yet honestly written, and with beautiful illustrations, this Journey to You book addressed my concerns. Explaining the donor egg IVF process in just enough, child friendly detail is fantastic. But for me the way the writing conveys just how special, loved and longed for our baby was and is, is the most wonderful part."" - Sally Coleing

""Beautifully written with stunning illustrations. This is the book that I have been hoping to find for my son. Finally a book that makes perfect sense and will become a key piece of understanding for my son and his conception story. Highly recommended."" - Adele O'Connor"
