Maisie's Blueprints: A (IUI/IVF/ICI) Donor Conception Story for Two-Mom Families (My Donor Story: A Book Series for Donor-Conceived Children)

A warm, inclusive picture book for two-mom and LGBTQ+ families to share with young children as they learn the story of how they were made. Maisie has two moms, a big imagination, and one important question: How was I made? On her first day of school, Maisie learns that her classmate's new baby siseter was made with “a lot of love and a little bit of science.” Curious about her own story, she rushes home to ask Mommy and Mama how she came to be. Together, they share the beautiful truth: Maisie was made with love, intention, generosity, and science, with a little help from a sperm donor and a lot of heart. She learns that her story began with a thoughtful choice and deep care from her moms. The story uses the idea of blueprints and building to show how Maisie’s family created a plan that was right for them, piece by piece, with attention and love. This book supports: • Two-mom families / lesbian parents • Families who used their own egg and a sperm donor (IVF, IUI, or ICI) • Early conversations about how our family was made • Celebrating identity and origins with openness and love • Building emotional confidence and belonging Perfect for bedtime reading, school readiness, and beginning conversations about family-building in a warm and loving way. "A perfect companion to guide parents and children through joyous discussions of their unique genetic stories." – Dr. Hutton M. Kearney, Hereditary Genomics, Mayo Clinic "With gentleness, metaphor, lyricism, and love, this is an important tale, gracefully told." – Jeffrey Kluger, best-selling author Warm, inclusive, and honest, this is the book every two-mom family with a donor-conceived child will treasure. A version of this story featuring a boy protagonist, titled Hudson's Blueprints, is also available for families who prefer a male main character.
