This book is very popular with my 5th grade students at a boys' school. It is not inclusive of all menstruating people (just talks about these products in girls bathrooms and makes it sound as though anyone who might need the products but doesn't use the girls bathrooms doesn't exist).

A tale of friendship meets a feminist masterpiece. I am actually surprised with just how much I enjoyed this. I went into it thinking, 'I'll probably like it' and that'd be that. But wow.
First of all, the fact that the story is so much more than the main plot is the best thing ever. It kind of shows that just because you have your period you don't have to put a pause on life. And with every challenge that each girl faced, her best friends were there to back her up in one way or another.
This is obviously such a great read for learning about period positivity - it does it in such an easy and accessible way. I would 1000% recommend this to anyone wondering how to talk to kids/friends/students about menstruation, but I'd also recommend it just a solidly heartwarming read.

The book has a sequel "Look on the Bright Side" though it does not have to be read in order.
This book is monochrome, shades of red, white, and black. The sequel is full color.

This book is a cute friendship story with a lot of depth. It’s absolutely awesome that there is an approachable book for teens that talks about period injustice! I finished it in about an hour plus the illustrations are super fun! Inspiring to say the least.

Definitely wished I’d had this in middle/high school, but so glad it exists now! Also, can they please make a follow up?
