As an aspiring teacher, and older cousin to beautiful little girls, I don’t want them coming into puberty scared, like I was just over 10yrs ago! I wish I had a book like this back then, and sometimes even now on why we have such an amazing body in which we should embrace!

A topic that is close to my heart! I have been doing my own research into menstruation on and off for a few years now, have started sewing my own cloth pads and have 2 young girls of my own for who i will be making sure i break the cycle of shame and embarrassment.

As the mum of two girls heading into this journey I love the sound of this book. As a parenting education with responsibilities for a parenting library state wide I would really like to see if this book would be a good addition to our library in WA. I am very aware of the limited books on this topic currently available!

I recall to this day the fear when “it” came. I had no idea what was going on. I also recall my embarrassed mother handing me a plain brown paper wrapped “kit” containing a pad, elastic belt and a booklet to read and figure it all out.. As a grandmother of four still young girls, I am appreciative that a book like this is available to my daughters to supplement their much. more open approach

Hi Nat

Would love to win this for my 11 year old daughter, she has yet to get her period but the topic is coming up more frequently lately. Would love for her to read this and have a positive start to womanhood, self confidence and self love.

Thanks for a chance!!

I work with Grandparents who are caring for Grandchildren. These topics are often neglected for kids in out of home care particularly when there is a generation gap. It would be so great to have a tool like this to support them in teaching their young women about the ways of womanhood. The less these kids have to tackle on their own the better chance they have in life.

A topic that deserves more attention. My Mom never talked to me about menstruation, thank goodness for books like “Dear God, it s me Margaret” or i would have been clueless. I hope i can share this with my daughter well before she gets her first period.

I would really love a copy of this book, so I could read it with my 10.5 year old girl, who is starting to get curious about changes that take place during puberty. We’ve talked about breast growth and pubic hair, but it’s really hard to talk about menstruation in a way that doesn’t make it seem “scary” and “difficult”.

Many thanks for all of your wonderful work educating our next generation of women.

As a mother of a 6yo daughter, this is one conversation I am not looking forward to having! This book would make a somewhat awkward subject a lot easier to approach when the time comes.
