Welcome to Your Boobs by Yumi Stynes & Dr Melissa Kang

Welcome to Your Boobs is a book for every adolescent girl as well as their parents, carers and teachers. It is a friendly, honest and incredibly practical guide to growing up and all the changes it brings. With a chatty style and clear facts, girls will find it very accessible and keep coming back to it again and again. My own daughters have found the other books in this series useful and were excited to see this one.

The facts are backed up by clear, scientific information while the authors emphasise that these changes are things that happen to all women. They seek to reassure any feelings of anxiety and continually remind readers of who they can go to for more information or help. The headings are clear with the types of questions young people are wondering about.

The illustrations are very diverse with individuals of a variety of ethnicities and body types. The authors add to the information with many personal stories sharing anecdotes from real girls. The subtitle of “Your easy, no-silly-questions guide to your breast friends” sums it up perfectly.

Thank you to Little Tiger for this important book.
