This is such a great, informative, body-positive book for any young girl and mama of a young girl. It covers information "head-to-toe" about their personal bodies and facilitates conversations as their bodies begin to change.
This book is not one for the "birds and the bees" talk, but it talks about everything from how to take care of your hair to prevent heat damage, skincare, healthy exercise and eating habits, puberty changes, negative effects of comparison, and having open lines of communication with your parents. It's an excellent resource to start talking with your daughter and educating her on big changes in a positive and beneficial way.

Taught me how to measure my bra size. Little did I know this would plague me the rest of my life due to the inconsistency in women’s sizing across the fashion industry. Don’t hold it against this book though. Still 5 stars.

My mom gave me this when I was 10 and glued all the pages about periods, vaginas, and breasts together so I couldn’t read/look at them (idk why?? Did she think I’d become queer? Sorry mom lmao I did). Any way this book probably taught me more about my body than anyone else at the time

This was an essential book when I was in middle school. Informative without being too explicit, perfectly age-appropriate.

This is a very straight-forward, yet simply put book for young girls. I haven't read it yet with my daughter as I wanted to read it first before I talked with her, but I liked how it puts it on her level and simply, not in a manner that will scare or overwhelm her, I don't think. I'm using this as a tool to help me explain to her "growing up" and all that entails. From my perspective, I think it will be a great tool and stepping stone to get us started on that first discussion and many more that I'm sure will follow.

Well, yes, I did read this. It was actually pretty good, but I won't go into too much detail or else...it might be kinda awkward...
