Description The conception and birth of a new human life is generally cloaked in secrecy for preschool children and children in their early school years. The Outline Educational Programme for Preschool Education, however, states that the educational area Children and Their bodies should lead to children being able to name the individual organs of the body and having a basic idea of the origin of life and of birth. How, then, is conception and birth depicted in literature designed for children? This report has arisen in connection of long-term literary-scientific research.
