This book has a lovely chatty tone that will draw youngsters in and give them all the information that they will need to make sense of their whole cycle... I wish I had access to this book when I was going through puberty
THIS is the book I wish I had been gifted as a child! A must-have for every girl entering womanhood, and as crucial as any biology textbook for every boy too
My Period is perfectly written for girls going through puberty, in a language that they will understand. A no nonsense, essential guide for young girls that explains EVERYTHING they need to know
A timely and necessary book to bring periods out of the shadows and much needed period education into the spotlight
A phenomenal book for everyone who wants or needs to know about periods (which is pretty much all of us!
Lots of great information in this book for kids age 9 to 12, including "How to be a cycle detective". Viva la body literacy!
