Puberty Is Gross But Also Really Awesome by Gina Loveless

5.0

Ah puberty. Such an exciting time in our lives. Am I right?

I have an 11 year old son so we are just about RIGHT THERE, RIGHT NOW. So, when given the opportunity to get a review copy of this new book targeted at kids on the cusp of puberty, I was like "Yes please, I will take all the help that I can get!".

I was VERY impressed with this book. It is very well done and talks at the kids' level but in a very engaging, interesting and informative way. The book is even inclusive of gender fluid and transgender kiddos. There are subjects ranging from boobs, hair growth, the changes in genitals, menstruation, and more. All those things that can be icky and uncomfortable to talk about for some kids and parents. It is important for kids to know the facts about their own bodies and the bodies of those of the opposite sex. Having a sound scientific eduction on these matters is important for both their own understanding of themselves and their health but to help them be a better, nicer citizen to others.

I highly recommend this book!

Thank you to the publisher for the review copy!
