The Care & Keeping of You: The Body Book for Girls by Valorie Schaefer
4.0
A comprehensive book about growing up for girls. The book says for ages 8+, but it will depend on the girl. I felt like it didn't go into as much detail as the boy version. For example, the drawings about the menstrual cycle were very minimal and there was no mention about changes in the vulva at all. This book leaves out conversations about trans or nonbinary individuals. It also may have too much information for someone who is neurodivergent or has a learning disability. Despite these issues, I would recommend this book for a majority of girls as a way for parents to start conversations about growing up.
