Hey there! So, I’ve got this awesome book called Puberty and Growing Up by Anna Claybourne that I think you’ll find really helpful. It’s one of the Healthy for Life books, and it was published in 2016.
Now, let’s take a look at what this book is all about. It’s a thin book with just 32 pages, including the index. But don’t let its size fool you, it covers a lot of important stuff!
First off, it explains what puberty is and talks about hormones and all the changes that happen in your body. And guess what? It’s a book for both boys and girls, so everyone can benefit from reading it.
The book covers a bunch of topics like hair growth, getting periods (for girls), growing taller, changes in your skin, mood swings, and dealing with stress. It even talks about sex and sexuality, the pressure to have sex, and what it means to be an adult. Pretty cool, right?
Now, I have to mention that this book keeps things simple. It’s not super detailed like some other books out there, but it still gives you all the important information you need. For example, it has clear pictures showing what happens during periods and diagrams explaining the changes that happen to boys.
If you’re looking for a nice, simple book to start with, this is definitely a good choice. It’s suitable for kids around eight or nine years old, but even younger ones can benefit from it. Just keep in mind that some younger kids might find it a bit scary because they don’t fully understand what sex is yet. But don’t worry, everything will make sense as they grow up and their hormones kick in.
So, overall, I think this book is pretty great. It covers everything you need to know in a simple and easy-to-understand way. I hope this review helps you out. Cheers!
