Growing Into You!: An Inclusive, Shame-Busting, Get-Real Guide to Your Changing Body and Mind -- Melissa Pintor Carnagey, Paperback

For tweens and young teens of all gender identities, a shame-busting, interactive guide to puberty!

Body hair. Changing friendships, feelings, and fluids. The tween years can be awkward and confusing--but with enough information and an open mind, you can thrive!

Growing into You! has all the puberty facts you're looking for and more. For example, did you know that . . .

  • Voice changes happen to people of all genders?
  • Breast buds aren't something only girls develop?
  • Sleep actually helps your bones and muscles grow?
  • Everyone has their own unique relationship to gender?

Packed with essential information, conversation starters, reflection exercises, surprising facts, and fun activities, the book contains plenty for you to take into the real world with you. After all, growing into you is a journey--so it's time to embrace curiosity, ask questions, and treat your body with respect and care!

"With a compassionate tone, Â-accurate information, and thoughtful Â-design, this book is easily one of the best resources available for those Â-navigating Â-adolescence." --Jessica Calaway, School Library Journal, starred review
