I really love the deliberate approach given to the creation of this book.
The subtlety of the cover. The candid voice of the text. The artfulness of the illustrations. The clarity of the layouts. It's approachable. And engaging. And sincere.
This is a book written to demystify the process of getting an abortion. She walks us through two difference scenarios (one at a clinic, one at home), with two different women.
As someone who has never had this experience, and has personally changed my opinion about the practice, everything rang true.
This seems ideal for any high school or middle school library or counseling office. Every Planned Parenthood and women's health clinic. Every academic library with any kind of gender studies or medical program. Every hospital. Every public library, obvs.
I'm so glad it exists.
