Celebrate Your Body 2

 

Leff, C. (2019).  Celebrate your body 2.  Rockingridge.

Celebrate Your Body 2: The Ultimate Book For Preteen and Teen Girls is an informative book about the changes that happen in puberty. It uses a comforting and reassuring tone with a body-positive focus. Topics covered include hygiene care, body shape, breast growth, body parts (both the outside and inside) menstruation, brain development, friendships/relationships, sex, and sexuality. It shows girls that the changes they are experiencing are normal and not "ugly things."  The end pages include resource lists for teens and adults and a reference list and index. This book, written by two doctors (who are also moms) provides support to navigate this thing called puberty. 

To be honest, growing up in my house, we did not talk about puberty nor did I ever get the "birds and the bees" talk from my parents. It was just not something we discussed. I think this is a wonderful book that all parents should have for their daughters as they begin to go through the changes in their lives.
