It's Perfectly Normal: Changing Bodies, Growing Up, Sex, and Sexual Health

It's Perfectly Normal is a highly acclaimed and frequently updated guide designed to inform preadolescent children about puberty, sex, and sexual health. Through clear, direct language and humorous, accurate illustrations, it covers topics from body changes and reproduction to sexual identity, online safety, and healthy choices. Hosted by a curious bird and a disgusted bee, the book addresses a wide range of definitions of sex, different body types, the process of puberty, conception, birth, and important decisions like abstinence, birth control, and abortion. While praised for its comprehensive, expert-reviewed information and its positive message about human sexuality, it has also faced controversy due to its explicit content and illustrations. This book is an invaluable resource for parents, teachers, and children seeking accurate, age-appropriate information in a supportive format.

Earlier editions were published with a different subtitle: A book about changing bodies, growing up, sex, and sexual health.
