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...
