A storybook to help people about to go through puberty

We all need to grow up

Bobby sitting on a porch with Doggo beside her, looking curious

Bobby was growing taller.     
But that's ok, we all need to grow up.
You might think growing up is just getting taller.
But there is too growing up then getting taller.

A New Adventure Begins

Bobby's mother sitting on a couch, smiling warmly, with Doggo wagging his tail nearby

We grow hair where hair usually isn't. 
Ladies' bodies need to grow a safe space for a baby.
Men's bodies need to turn on romance.

Understanding Changes

Bobby looking at herself in a mirror, with a thoughtful expression

Bobby's mum told Bobby,
Us ladies, we lose blood if we don't have a baby, that's normal. Our breasts grow to feed out little babies. Our hips also widen to fit babies out.

Embracing the Journey

Bobby walking with Doggo in the neighborhood, looking confident and happy

Bobby's dad told her:
Men's testicles grow and sometimes we experience erections (when their penis stands up straight).



We all experience emotional changes and growing pains, but that's ok, we can get support if you ever need.
