  • A Celebration of Vulva Diversity was created by Hilde Atalanta, a sexologist and artist from Amsterdam, to help people understand and appreciate the natural diversity of vulvas.
  • The book uses beautifully drawn illustrations (rather than photos) to show a wide range of shapes, colours, and sizes, helping to challenge the unrealistic images often seen in media and porn.
  • Each illustration highlights the individuality of vulvas while keeping the artwork tasteful, approachable, and educational.
  • The book combines anatomy, science, and storytelling – covering topics like the clitoris, hymen, periods, and gender identity – all explained with warmth and accuracy.
  • It’s based on collaboration with healthcare experts, ensuring that the information is both factual and inclusive.
  • Readers will also find personal stories and myth-busting sections that help demystify the vulva and encourage self-acceptance.
  • It’s a wonderful tool for promoting positive body image and normalising conversations about genital diversity.
  • While it’s not designed for young readers, it’s an excellent resource for parents, teachers, or professionals wanting to better understand how to talk about this topic with confidence and sensitivity.
