This would be a nice book to give to a child with some nonfiction titles alongside. Personally not my favorite writing from any of these authors but it was still good and meaningful.

This is a very unique collection of short stories written by BIPOC women about young women experiencing their periods. It touches lots of different cultural experiences and celebrations. A great read for girls approaching puberty, as well as Moms who are approaching this season with their daughters.
