A Kids Book About Periods

A straightforward, no-nonsense introduction to menstruation from beloved actress and mother Jessica Biel. The author shares the story of when she got her first period along with her period-related struggles and shame along the way. She normalizes periods and does a great job of keeping her book inclusive. This book is the book most people needed at the onset of puberty and it's a great resource for parents to turn to when explaining periods.

As someone who deals with severe period and PMDD I think this is a great guide to introduce young girls to the worlds of periods. Not every girl has someone to go to to help them with advice and I think this a perfect alternative. I am. So glad Jessica is doing this.

I wish there would have been a book like this when I was younger and learning about periods. I think that this book is such a great way to introduce periods to any child and to help remove the taboo around talking about periods. I think that this book is a phenominal resource for children and parents to promote healthy open communication about topics that can seem uncomfortable to talk about. I will definetly be reading this book with both of my girls and my son.

I like that we have a book that is very open about periods. I wish I had this book when I was growing up because I experienced the same stigmatization of periods as the author did . I was not informed about what was happening with my body and it traumatized me. The book gives the reader the basics of experiencing periods without overwhelming the reader with information. The author does address the adults at the start of the book so the book is intended as a way for adults to start the conversation about periods with girls. The author is very conversational and friendly which makes the reader feel more comfortable when reading about periods which girls have been taught to feel shame for. Overall a great book to use to talk to girls about periods.

I've come to trust this series immensely. I can trust that the information is correct AND inclusive. I can trust that the information is presented in a way that is understandable and clear by all. This book meets all of those expectations. Talking about periods is so important and so many people struggle with it; this book makes is understandable. I love so much that this is written by a boy-mom because so often we forget that boys should know about periods just as much as girls. If you are a person who wants to know how to talk about periods with younger folks and/or if you're a younger person who wants to understand, this book is for you! Correct info, easy to understand, no graphic pictures -- just a whole lot of NORMALIZING a normal occurrence! Well done, Jess!
