Wise, kind, non-judgemental and empathetic. This book should be within every girl’s arm’s reach. (Sali Hughes, columnist, mother and author)
Brilliant, accessible sensitive and funny – get this book for your children, your godchildren, your grandchildren and then everyone else's children! (Emily Maitlis)
Funny, kind and wise
This book frees girls from any ill-conceived myths about what they should or shouldn’t be feeling as they go through puberty. It says that you are ok the way you are - a message that could not be more important particularly during this crucial time where our bodies are going through a revolution. (Brita Schmidt)
