K-3Ordinary Terrible Things series.
A child who sees references to sex everywhere comes to Grandma for the skinny. Grandma has all the right answers ("Curiosity about sex is your birthright"; one's sexuality "belongs to no one else but you") as well as a sense of humor. As always with this series (including Death Is Stupid), the rough-hewn collage art makes clear that the book approaches the topic unsentimentally.
