Synopsis

A classic guide to puberty returns in this revised edition, which includes four brand new chapters on relevant, important topics of today: getting braces, changing friendships, new romantic feelings, and sexual harassment. Original chapters have also been expanded to include expanded information on bra sizing, shaving, and relatable anecdotes from real girls.

Girls can have many questions about getting their periods: What is my period exactly? Do I need to see a doctor? What does it feel like to wear a pad? What if I get my period at school?

In print for over twenty years and with almost 400,000 copies sold, The Period Book is an essential and reassuring must-read for every girl going through puberty, and every parent wishing to prepare a daughter for this important milestone. Written in consultation with preteen and teen girls, including Karen Gravelle's teenage niece Jennifer, this guide offers a supportive and practical approach, providing clear and sensitive answers to common questions on your period--from what it is and what it feels like, to how to choose pads and tampons, to how to talk to your parents about it--as well as advice on related issues like dealing with pimples, mood swings, and new expectations from friends and family.

Complete with appealing illustrations, The Period Book is a trusty friend that can help you feel confident about this new phase of your life.
