Everything is explained simply, non-judgmentally, and in a non-scary, matter-of-fact way. It will probably not be the only resource a girl will want during the puberty years, but again, a GREAT intro. It will probably lead to good questions and conversations. I think this is a great resource for girls approaching puberty to read as an intro.

Honestly, it's amazing how much is included because again, it's a very short book. Pregnancy, condoms (does not mention other forms of BC), STDs, eating disordersĮxplanation of how sex works, consequences of sex Periods, pads, tampons (No mention of period underwear, menstrual cups or other alternatives to pads/tampons)ĭeveloping feelings of sexual attraction, for either sex Parts of the body, correct names for anatomy, labeled illustrations - male and female

Some of the Topics covered (again at a very high level): Topics are covered enough to answer the basic question (What's happening to me?), but if the reader has more in-depth questions about anything, they will probably need additional resources. It's very easy to understand, uses simple but accurate language, and appropriate illustrations.ģ. I think I read it through in half an hour.Ģ. Susan Meredith answers the questions young girls want. I was really impressed with the quality of the information provided in such a short book.ġ. They aim to help children aged nine and above understand bodily changes and they do this extremely well. It also has a brief section that talks about boys' changes, too. This is a short, easy to read book that goes over, at a very high level, the basic aspects of puberty for girls.
