I have an 11-year-old daughter at the time I am writing this book review.  She has two sisters ages 9 and 8.  So as you can imagine, I have some interesting days ahead! In addition to very open and honest talks with my daughter, I began looking for some good resources to help my daughters through this transition time as they mature into womanhood.  Some books I saw gave too much information, complete with explicit pictures, and those would not have been appropriate for the very first introduction to puberty.  Some that I saw gave good information but also included standards that were not conservative (like how to have a clean tattoo or how pink hair might be just your way of expressing yourself.  [sigh])  Some had only physiological information and nothing from a spiritual standpoint.   I settled on this book and I've been happy with it.  

My daughter enjoyed reading it, first of all.  It was made for the tween age.  It's not boring...
