What This Book Is About
Talking about sex and puberty can be really daunting for some children but this book talks about these topics that they’re wondering about (or will wonder about soon) in a fun way. The book covers:
- Physical and emotional changes that happen during puberty and why
- Dealing with periods, shaving, and other new things that are happening
- Becoming more independent and dating
- Sexual what it means and being safe
- Parents and changing relationships
- Contraception and sexual diseases
- Taking care of yourself and being confident
The book uses colourful, cartoon-style illustrations.
Reflection and Comments
When children experience changes they can feel confused, and excited all at the same time. This book uses language that teenagers will understand and relate to and a bit of humour into it makes it even more engaging.
It’s great that it doesn’t just look into the physical changes, but also the emotional changes kids will feel with puberty. They will start having some sexual feelings too, so it’s important to address this right from the get-go.
