The idea for Flour Babies came from a newspaper article that Anne Fine read, where a class of children were set the task of looking after a bag of flour as if it were a baby. As they did this, they learned that bringing up a baby is a very demanding and responsible task, and not at all easy.
Anne took the basic facts, which were written for adults, and turned them into a book for children, where the children learn the upsides and downsides of bringing up a baby. Hopefully, this will make more young people realise that pregnancy is not an easy option.

The main characters in "Flour Babies" by Anne Fine are Simon Martin, Mr. Cartwright (the teacher), and the students in Simonโs class who also participate in the project. The story revolves around Simon and his classmates being given the responsibility of caring for a bag of flour as if it were a baby for a school project.
