Some of the best books about growing up (for children)
This is a list of books about growing up for children that will help parents prepare their child for all the social or friendship things that happen while growing up.
This booklist is a little different from most of the other lists of books about growing up for children. It is different because it isn’t a list of books about puberty.
Instead, it is a list of books about the social side of growing up. So you will find some novels that talk about the experience of growing up. Some puberty books talk about this stuff in more detail, too! You can find the puberty book list over here.
If you’re looking for a book on a different topic, look at my main list of sex education books for children. It includes over 40+ topics!
You’ll also find more information about sex education on my Sex Education 101 page.
Children’s books about growing up
You’ll find an age-specific list of children’s books about growing up. All of the books on this topic are currently showing.
All of the ages are visible, regardless of whether they’re relevant (or not). If no books appear for your chosen age, then it means there aren’t any relevant books.
To find relevant books for your child’s age, click on their age, and the appropriate books will appear.
NOTE: Before passing any book to your child or reading it with them, you should read it yourself first. I might think it is a great book for a certain age child or that the information is valuable, but you may disagree. Try to choose books that reflect your values and the messages you want your child to receive.
I don’t have any books on this topic for this age yet. Try another topic above.
Find practical tools to educate kids about sex education in the Sex Ed Shop
These are some of the many children’s books about growing up that have been written. As I find more, I will add them to this list. They are all really good books that kids can read to find reliable and accurate information about love, sex and relationships.
Oh, and please do let me know if you know of a book to be added to this list!
Happy reading!
