The purpose of this study was to examine cultural narratives of human reproduction in children's literature. The research was conducted in two parts. The first was a content analysis of children's picture books to determine what cultural narratives about reproduction are included within these stories. Additionally, a checklist adapted from Symons and Manna (1992) was utilized to facilitate an evaluation of the sex-positive and health-positive nature of these stories. Questions from the checklist were formatted into a 5-point Likert scale (0-4) to assess the quality of the books as educational teaching tools.The study found that five main reproductive narratives are told within contemporary children's picture books: the prevailing narrative, the traditional narrative, the non-traditional narrative, the least common narrative, and the absent / invisible narrative. The issue with many books in the study does not stem from the fact that they encourage reproduction. Rather, the concern is the lack of rational explanation or justification for engaging in the behavior. In addition to the narratives, many children's books about reproduction are written by unqualified authors and can present messages that are both sex and health negative. The books are marketed as educational literature on reproduction, yet many of the books fail to teach about reproduction at the basic level. Future research can use the results of this study to examine the unintended consequences of projecting a false narrative of reproduction.
