Synopsis
The Puberty Book is the ideal guide for teenagers navigating their challenging adolescent years. Taking a straightforward yet humorous tone and illustrated throughout with witty cartoons, this book gives children and teenagers the most clear and accurate information about themselves, their bodies and growing up. ‘What’s a wet dream?’‘At what age do you get eggs?’‘How do you ask a girl on a date?’‘Is it all right to try to get the perfect body?’The Puberty Book answers these questions and many more in a candid and funny way, providing dependable information on the physical and mental developments of adolescence. In simple, straightforward language, Wendy Darvill and Kelsey Powell discuss the changes that happen at puberty, sex and sexuality, health, relationships, pregnancy and birth, as well as providing a guide to looking after your mental health that focuses on issues such as self-esteem, body image, shyness, depression and bullying. While the authors recognise the primary role of parents and carers in the sexual education of their children, this book is written for children rather than parents. It is contains witty and informative cartoons throughout and all of the questions that guide the topics are based on the kinds of questions that children and teenagers everywhere ask all the time.
