![]() It's the third instalment in a trilogy of sex-ed books for kids and teens written by Silverberg and illustrated by Smyth, following the acclaimed titles What Makes a Baby? and Sex is a Funny Word. In reality, sex-ed empowers young people and reduces risk-taking by increasing knowledge about safer sex and sexual health. Detractors of a comprehensive sex-ed curriculum say that it confuses kids and encourages sexual risk-taking behaviour. Sex-ed, especially right now, is rife with conflict between disagreeing parents and policymakers - but it's kids and teens who bear the consequences of inadequate sexual education. PEN15 makes the pains of growing up hilarious - and reminds us to have empathy for today's kids. ![]()
