Book
Welcome to your period! : your complete, no-nonsense guide to going with the flow / Yumi Stynes & Dr. Melissa Kang ; illustrations by Jenny Latham.
A frank, funny, age-appropriate guide for pre-teens about getting your period, from Dr. Melissa Kang and Yumi Stynes. Getting your period for the first time can be mortifying, weird, and messy--and asking questions about it can be even worse. Packed with honest advice on managing Aunt Flo like a boss, this book will induct pre-teens into the secret society of menstruation: from demystifying what cramps feel like, to whether you can feel it coming out, to what you should do if your pad leaks onto your dress. With Yumi's sisterly wisdom and Dr. Kang's medical advice, case studies, first-person accounts, and questions from real teens, this book for pre-teens (9-12 years) is guaranteed to make you feel special about getting our period.
