Per Holm Knudsen (born 18 December 1945 in Copenhagen) is a Danish writer, teacher and psychotherapist. He is the author of ''The True Story of How Babies Are Made'', a detailed and colorfully illustrated children's book that chronicles love, marriage, conception, pre-natal growth, and birth. As the title promises, it explains the biological process of human reproduction, using correct terminology and graphic pictures.
