Girls’ bodies do the craziest things! They spin perfect pirouettes or fall flat right in front of class. As girls’ bodies start to grow up and go through some wild changes, you might be wondering things like: Why don’t I look like her? When will I become a woman? And how can I handle that talk my parents want to have—you know, the talk? Yikes! The Ultimate Girls’ Body Book answers all the important questions you want answers to but would rather not ask, mixing fun with great advice for growing girls—from a Christian perspective. This easy-to-use and easy-to-understand handbook is designed for girls heading into and through puberty — and for their parents. Two trusted Christian family physicians answer over thirty-five questions that girls frequently ask about their changing bodies and emotions. You’ll find answers that are medically reliable and Biblically sound … answers that you can trust in a world where so much information to young ladies is both misleading and harmful.
