I bought this book based on recommendations, for my 11 year old daughter who is struggling a little with body image. )Will be showing to my daughter and giving her the choice of whether she wants to browse it on her own or read it together.
An impressive book - the equivalent of a kind friend who is there to help guide your child through puberty! Am surprised and pleased that certain things aren't glossed over (like how different breasts can look!
I've had a read through and am impressed with the kindness and friendliness of the layout and even the diagrams.
