It’s
Perfectly Normal
Harris, R.
(2009). It’s perfectly normal. Boston, MA: Candlewick Press.
Kids are
full of questions. Sometimes we easily have answers, other times it’s a little
tricky if not outright difficult. “It’s Perfectly Normal” is the perfect book
to help navigate through those times. It presents an informative, reassuring,
unbiased and responsible way to introduce tweens to everything they need to
know about the big “S” word-sex.
With all
the misinformation from peers, social media and pop culture, this book is
refreshing. It is an in depth look at all the questions and concerns your tween
could possibly have with puberty, changes in their bodies, the reproductive
system, sex, sexual health, pregnancy, birth and family.
The clever
use of the bird and bee characters only makes it more appealing and less
intimidating for both parent and child. It is not for the faint-at-heart. I
suggest you scan before introducing. I wish a book like this was available when
I was a tween and I’m sure parents who embrace it would agree too.
