What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
This book maintains a positive and simplified approach. It does not delve into sensitive or complex topics like puberty, reproduction, or illness. The focus is strictly on healthy, normative development in a way that is affirming and age-appropriate. The approach is entirely secular and scientific. Any discussion of body differences is framed in a positive, celebratory way (e.g., everyone grows at their own pace).
Ideal Reader
The ideal reader is a curious 4 to 7-year-old who is full of 'why' and 'how' questions about their body. It's perfect for a child who has just mastered a new physical skill (like pumping on a swing or writing their name) and is interested in the mechanics behind it. It is also beneficial for a child who might feel clumsy or different, as it reinforces that all bodies are amazing.
