The day dad wanted to have an awkward conversation

Tiffany thinks that's pretty funny, she's never needed anything like that before. Neither has Max - and he's already 12. Her big sister sees things a little differently. Luisa is already 17 and wants to spend a romantic weekend with her boyfriend Justin. And that's why Dad wants to have an awkward conversation. The book tells the story of why it's Mom who does the talking, what it was like with Grandma and Grandpa in the 60s, what floating sperm and migrating eggs are all about, and why the neighbor can now never again plug a plug into a socket without having a fit of laughter.

To laugh along with and learn from.

Marc-Uwe Kling tells how dad just can't manage to talk to his children about sex in a relaxed way. And along the way, he succeeds in doing what dad fails at: communicating a topic that concerns us all in an entertaining and light-hearted way.

With brilliant pictures by Astrid Henn.
