Reflection and Comments
The conversation focuses on the specific parts of the body and how every part functions and are connected and there for a reason. It emphasises that our bodies are normal. There is also a simple activity at the end of each page. Ruby Luna’s Curious Journey helps remove shame and stigma when girls think about their bodies and this could help them grow into confident women who know what their bodies are capable of. The book does not mention sex, but gives kids the chance to see that their bodies are natural.
