"What we love most about this book (which we'll be gifting to our tween cousins, nieces, and daughters!) is the empowering message woven throughout: that 'your body is your body,' as Bloom puts it, and you're the only one who gets to decide what to do with it." — Health.com

“Full of practical advice, helpful explanations, and messages of encouragement…Period.” — Parents.com

From the founder of HelloFlo, a modern and insightful guide to periods and puberty for a new generation

When will I get boobs?
Does wearing a tampon hurt?
What's the deal with menstrual cups?
Seriously, when will I get boobs?

Honest, funny, and unafraid of the messy, real-life facts about a girl's changing body, this is definitely not your mother’s puberty book. HelloFlo founder Naama Bloom’s mission is to create informed, empowered young women who are unafraid to ask questions and make the best choices for themselves and their bodies. A celebration of women's bodies and all the confusing, uncomfortable, silly, transformative, and powerful changes that occur during puberty.

This full-color book—written by HelloFlo founder, Naama Bloom, and journalist Glynnis MacNicol—features bright, diverse, approachable illustrations and infographics, doctor-vetted information, and personal testimonials from real girls and women.

INTRO COMPARES PERIODS TO HORROR MOVIES

June 24, 2018

Verified Purchase

I didn't get past the first page to know that this book was not for my daughter. The author dives right into the introduction talking to girls about "cottage cheese", "crusty" stuff, and "yogurty" mess in her panties among other things. On the second page it actually states "Oh, and there will be blood. A lot of it. Think: horror movie. Sometimes it may look and feel like a waterfall of blood..." I was looking for a book with that would help her feel good and not scared about what to expect but this is not it.I am sure the info in the book is probably factual but IMO this was not presented in a child friendly mannor. Full disclosure I did not read further than the intro because as stated I knew I needed to find a different book for my daughter already based on what I had already read.

Explains not just what's between the legs, but also between the ears

This is a good book. It explains the changing body and brain in a way that tweens and young teens won't be too embarrassed to read about. It doesn't try too hard to speak in their voice but at the same time doesn't come across as some old lady preaching at them. I particularly enjoyed that the book ended with discussing the importance of female solidarity and of having good friendships with other girls. The only concern I had is that it may be slightly above the reading level of the average girl who is in fourth or fifth grade and getting this book for the first time. Some popular culture references will also need to be updated as the years go by. This book is limited to body and brain development and the realities of taking care of yourself in regard to those things, it does not go into sex education, so an age appropriate book will need to be found for that if you are the type to throw books on the desk of your daughter who turns bright red and runs off when you say the word vagina.

Awesome book, highly recommended!

So I started talking to my 9 year old daughter one day about her changing body and bundled it up. It was after that I went online and this book had great reviews. She's read it, I've read it and we've read it together. It helped us have constructive conversations and I kept on thinking wow, I wish I had or knew this when I was growing up. Awesome book, highly recommended!

Awkward Dads, Clueless Brothers, Bewildered Boyfriends, & oh yeah EVERY FEMALE NEEDS THIS BOOK

October 18, 2017

Verified Purchase

My mother would have loved this book! She was the queen of Frank Parental Sex/Body Talk, delivering TMI but early, accurate info. HOWEVER I was too embarrassed to ask her certain questions and there was no internet. The book contains a lot of explicit, honest information and a parent might be uncomfortable with a girl having so much truth in her hands. BUT THEY NEED IT. If I had this frank and friendly book as my friend and guide, I would not have cried myself to sleep for months thinking that I was dying of cancer. They used to put the seven warning signs of cancer all over everything back then. I had "A Lump Or Thickening In The Breast Or Elsewhere." Naama Bloom's book calls this "budding breasts." At age 12, I could diagram the reproductive system, but I had no idea that breasts budded. Maybe it would have been even more helpful to know that one bud might start budding before the other. When I finally broke down and tearfully told Mom about my cancer, she guffawed explosively, not exactly the response I was expecting. Suffice it to say that even the most open-minded, comfortable-talking-about-everything mother MIGHT FORGET TO TELL A GIRL A FEW KEY POINTS. So even an open-minded frank talk Mom NEEDS THIS BOOK. I bought multiple copies because I will be giving it to SO MANY PEOPLE.

A 10 from my 10 year old

As a puberty guide, this is an honest approach. I am reading this with my daughter, and it allows her to ask questions, look at pictures, and have an open and meaningful dialogue about puberty with me and her dad. We like the writing, easy to understand, and the format, chapters build from beginning of puberty (breasts) all the way to what to do once you get your menstrual cycle, to everything in between. Highly recommend the book, and highly recommend giving the girl in your life the knowledge of how her body is changing.

RECOMMEND to every pre-teen/teen

Great follow up guide to the American Girl body series.Uses humor to realte and is a great conversation opener.

I gave this to my daughter after she understood the basics of the female body. She keeps it in her nightstand to read when she is alone. It has given her the "right" to talk about topics that may or may not be brought up, things women sometimes forget, because they are just used to it. Like discharge. :)

Makes topics that may be embarrassing to young girls more accessible by using humor.

If only this were around when I was a tween/teen. Filled with straight talk, beautiful illustrations, and positive messages - this book should be required reading!
