Critical Praise
“In a playful, inviting, and nonjudgmental tone, Ibrahim offers tween girls advice based on her own experiences, covering everything from moodiness, periods, vagina anatomy, and bra sizing to body-image concerns and the importance of mindfulness and exercise.” — Booklist
“Wise, funny, and abundantly honest” — Publishers Weekly
“The author shares her own embarrassing moments: wetting her pants; menstrual leaks; a yeast infection; chafed thighs. The takeaway for readers is that this kind of thing happens to everyone ... Conversational text, lively design, and photos of a person of color make this growing-up guide stand out.” — Kirkus Reviews
“Younger tweens looking for an empowering, buoyant, and candid introduction to puberty will find comical comfort here.” — Booklist
