## Description

From the Publisher Covering everything from periods and breast development to mood swings, self-esteem and personal hygiene These reassuring guides will boost confidence and encourage children aged 9+ to feel positive about the changes they will experience as they go through puberty A Girls' Guide to Growing Up also includes lifestyle advice on topics like healthy eating and exercise, as well as information on how puberty affects the opposite sex

Review: Made difficult conversations much easier - I cannot recommend this book highly enough! As a parent, I was dreading having "the talk" with my daughter about puberty and all the changes coming her way, but this book made everything so much easier and more natural. My daughter absolutely loves the format. It's friendly, reassuring, and written in a way that speaks directly to girls her age without being patronising or too clinical. The book covers topics ranging from periods and breast development to mood changes and self-esteem, and everything is explained so clearly and sensitively. The illustrations are perfectly age-appropriate and help make potentially awkward topics feel completely normal. What really impressed me was how this book opened up conversations between us that I wasn't sure how to start. We've been reading sections together, and she now feels comfortable asking me questions about things that might have felt too embarrassing before. She even picks it up on her own to read bits she's curious about, which shows how engaging and accessible it is. The content strikes the perfect balance. It's comprehensive without being overwhelming, and it addresses worries about what's "normal" in such a reassuring way. I love that it also includes information about how puberty affects boys and touches on self-esteem and body image, making it a really well-rounded guide. 5 stars.
Review: Very good book - This is a great book and we highly recommend it, my 9 year old found it extremely useful and easy to read to herself, though we did read it together cover to cover when it first arrived. It has great illustrations and isn’t too daunting. Very useful and helpful book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very good book
*by A***R on 5 February 2026*

This is a great book and we highly recommend it, my 9 year old found it extremely useful and easy to read to herself, though we did read it together cover to cover when it first arrived. It has great illustrations and isn’t too daunting. Very useful and helpful book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An exceptional tool to help children understand their bodies
*by H***S on 1 July 2025*

This book is a must have for any parent with a daughter who is reaching the age of puberty. It covers the basics of body changes with kindness and straightforwardness, including topics like breast development, periods, hygiene, nutrition, and emotional ups and downs. It’s insightful and completely age appropriate. It’s easy enough to understand so your child can read alone, but it’s also a great tool for parents to help explain things in what can sometimes be a difficult conversation.
