A frank, clear and informative guide to puberty for girls.
This sensitive, informative guide to puberty for girls tackles everything from body image to mood swings, hormones and first bras. Bright, cartoon-style illustrations and scientific diagrams explain the physical and emotional changes of growing up in a simple and reassuring way, while the contents and index pages make key topics easy to find.
Look no further: the Whats Happening to Me Books are nothing short of brilliant. They aim to help children aged nine and above understand bodily changes and they do this extremely well.
Susan Meredith answers the questions young girls want to ask but might feel afraid to. Its all there: getting measured up for a bra, periods, using towels and tampons, feeling, diet, health and hygiene and there is also a section on what happens to boys.
The text is informal, chatty, full of useful facts and packed with considerate advice and support. A book like that wouldnt work as well without graphics and diagrams, and the illustrations are colourful and engaging as well as informative.
