Review: An amazing tool to use when talking to my daughter - I am so glad I bought this book for my 8 year old daughter. We have been reading through it together at bedtime and it has been such a great way to start talking about all the changes that are going to happen. The way everything is explained is really simple and not scary at all, which I was a little worried about before it arrived. It covers everything from brushing teeth to how your body grows in a way that is easy for her to understand. My favorite part is that it actually gave us a reason to sit down and have those good conversations that can sometimes feel a little awkward to just bring up out of nowhere. She had so many questions after we read the sections on skin care and healthy eating, and the book makes it feel like a totally normal thing to talk about. It’s written in a really friendly tone that makes her feel comfortable asking me things, which is exactly what I wanted. The illustrations are really cute and inclusive too, so she can see that everyone’s body is a little bit different and that is perfectly okay. I feel like this is such an important book for girls her age to have as they start getting older. It’s definitely high quality and I’m really impressed with how they handled all the topics. I would definitely recommend this to any parent who wants a helpful tool to navigate these milestones with their daughter!
Review: Good learning tool - Favorite book to introduce girls to understanding their bodies and opens to conversations about themselves. I had gifted this book 3 times as well as having purchased it for my daughters. Get it as soon as you notice them becoming ladies, it can help them go through changes with puberty without fear and will help them know what to expect.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is a great learning tool
*by A***R on December 27, 2025*

I bought this book for my granddaughter. How I wish they had this book when I was younger we all can learn from this book. They have a part one and part two for girls and they also have one for boys. When my son became a single dad, this was the perfect gift for my granddaughter. I highly recommend this book. I’m in my 60s and I even learned a little bit from it.
