Hello, Flo. The Guide, Period by Naama Bloom (ages 8 and up)

Well done, written in fun, accessible language, with enough graphics to break up text, it’s a favorite among young people.  

The Period Book by Karen Gravelle (ages 8 and up)

This best-selling book has been around for a while. It’s practical, answers lots of questions, and has been recently updated to feel somewhat more current.

The Care and Keeping of You: The Body Book for Younger Girls by Dr. Cara Natterson (age 8 to 10)

Better than you’d expect from American Girl, this book focus on self-care, self-esteem, body changes and overall health.

The Care and Keeping of You: The Body Book for Older Girls by Dr. Cara Natterson (age 10 to 12)

Follows up first book with more in-depth details about physical and emotional changes, questions about periods, growing bodies, peer pressure, personal care, and more

Guy Stuff: The Body Book for Boys (ages 8 and up) by Dr. Cara Natterson

A practical guide to puberty-related changes in biologically male bodies, it covers a lot of ground. The emphasis is on self-care, not sex/sexuality.

What’s Happening to Me? Boys’ Edition by Alex Firth, Susan Meredith, illustrated by Adam Larkum (ages 10 and up)

Well written, approachable, covers many of the most common (and hard-to-ask) questions, BUT heavily communicates heterosexuality as the norm, only VERY briefly mentioning the possibility of same-sex attraction. The illustrations suggest it’s for very young kids, but the content is fairly comprehensive, including sex/sexuality.
