About this ebook
Babies Come From... Where?!? is the result of hundreds of interviews with young children ages three to twelve, who were simply asked “Where do you think babies come from?” and allowed to answer freely, giving as much or as little explanation as they saw fit.
It began as part of a larger class project by teacher Kristi Porter and the children of Happi Kamper Child Care, located in North Muskegon, Michigan. Each child was to create an individual gift book for his or her parents, and Babies Come From... Where?!? was simply to be one chapter in each child’s book.
Now, the individual answers of the Happi Kamper Kids, as well as those of the children at Community United Methodist Preschool, and Power Play Childcare have been combined. Their diverse, candid, and uncensored answers may surprise you, or even make you laugh out loud, as you get a quick glimpse into the amazing and intricate minds of some of the most delightful and fascinating children around.

The Story Behind This Book
Babies Come From… Where?!? is the result of hundreds of interviews with young children ages three to twelve, who were simply asked Where do you think babies come from?
and allowed to answer freely, giving as much or as little explanation as they saw fit.
It began as part of a larger class project by teacher Kristi Porter and the children of Happi Kamper Child Care, located in North Muskegon, Michigan. Each child was to create an individual gift book for his or her parents, and Babies Come From… Where?!? was simply to be one chapter in each child’s book.
Now, the individual answers of the Happi Kamper Kids, as well as those of the children at Community United Methodist Preschool, and Power Play Childcare have been combined. Their diverse, candid, and uncensored answers may surprise you, or even make you laugh out loud, as you get a quick glimpse into the amazing and intricate minds of some of the most delightful and fascinating children around. Enjoy!
PART I
… Little tiny babies are in the mom’s tummy. They wait and wait and grow and grow and make the mommy very fat. Then the mommy goes to the hospital and the doctor pushes really hard on her tummy and the baby goes flying right out! When the nurse catches it everyone is very happy. ~Emily, age 4.

… God puts a baby in the mom’s tummy – unless he’s busy, then Jesus does it. ~Olivia R., age 5.
~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~
… When moms get too fat a baby gets in there and eats the extra food. Then when they want to get out the doctor cuts up the moms stomach, grabs the baby and gives the mom stitches. Then the baby starts to walk and talk and yell and cry. A lot.
~Donovan, age 8.
