Remember how awkward it felt the day your class was split up by boys and girls to go off for their separate sex-ed lectures?
Did you find yourself left with more questions than answers, especially about what went on behind the closed doors of the other classroom?
(Wouldn’t it be nice with all this inflation to only have to buy one puberty book if you have a son and a daughter?)
You-ology: A Puberty Guide for Every Body (American Academy of Pediatrics; April 19, 2022) offers a one-stop-shop, explaining what every body goes through—with cute illustrations, to boot.
Gynecologist Melisa Holmes, MD, FACOG and pediatricians Trish Hutchison, MD, FAAP (co-founders of the popular website, Girlology, and proud stars of a Tampax commercial in which they blitz through a lightening-round of tampon myth-busting, so you know you’re in good company) and Kathryn Lowe, MD, FAAP keep the tone upbeat and engaging, while short stories featuring a cast of diverse characters add relatability and humor in their colorfully-illustrated guide.
