‘You-ology A Puberty Guide For Everybody’ was written by Kathryn Lowe and Melissa Holmes. It is recommended for all children aged 9-12 years and was published in 2022.
It is about puberty and all of the changes that everyone needs to know about for girls, boys, and nonbinary youth.
It’s inclusive of the gender spectrum and the trans experience. The idea for the book grew out of interacting with kids and seeing the need for accurate information that avoids shame.
