Reflection and Comments
This age-appropriate, book means that young girls can get information about mainly the physical changes during puberty. Sometimes that’s all they need to get confident before the emotional and social changes are introduced. (this book does not talk about them)
There is also a Q&A section at the end where you can read actual questions young girls ask. It tells young girls that although they go through the same body changes most of the time, each girl is unique. It helps young girls embrace who they are, giving them the confidence that they are normal.
