CHAPPAQUA, N.Y., Nov. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Robie Harris's next book -- It's Not the Stork! -- won't be published until July, but it has already begun making news this week with an article http://www.raabassociates.com/robie.html by Jodi Kantor in the New York Times entitled, "Sex Ed for the Stroller Set." This article was also featured in an AOL news poll. It's Not the Stork! will be published by Candlewick, and it is third in a bestselling series of sex education books for young people that Ms. Harris started in 1994 with It's Perfectly Normal (for preteens and teens) and It's So Amazing! (for ages 7-up). There are currently 400,000 copies of It's Perfectly Normal in print in the U.S. and more than 1 million worldwide, and it is considered by many to be the seminal book on the topic. The series has evolved with books for younger ages in response to parents' questions and requests, and Ms. Harris is writing a fourth volume which will be for children as young as 2-1/2.

Whose Responsibility Is It To Educate Our Kids and Teens About Sexual Health? She's also the author of Goodbye, Mousie!, which helps young children deal with the death of a pet.
