  • There were moments where, as an adult and mother of 2 tweens, I was a little uncomfortable reading about certain topics. But honestly, that just solidified the book's value.

Overall, "Things Every Girl Should Know About Their Body" is a valuable resource that both parents and young girls will appreciate.

  • “Where was this book when Aunt Flo showed up unexpectedly, my body started changing and I had no one to explain all these “weird” things that were happening to me!?!?! This book is gold!!! It opens up an honest dialogue about the female body and all its amazing “parts”. It’s simplistic but informative and helps normalize body talk without shame or embarrassment. Richa’s “matter-of-fact” tone about the female body is done with humour, sensitivity, simplicity and professionalism. A must-read for everyone, not just girls. Hopefully, there will be one for boys and their bodies in the future.”

  • Richa brings much needed education and awareness for teens and tweens in a very light hearted language. When a girl hits puberty there are so many questions and fears buzzing in her brain. Why am I feeling the way I am feeling? What will happen next? Am I the only one going through this? With changing times girls are provided with more education and support but still the notion of “Girls have to deal with this, it is normal” is still around. They are shy to ask Questions. This book gives an insight into many of those unanswered questions. "

Want to feel stronger, more confident, and able to love yourself just the way you are?

Of course, you do!

It all starts with knowing your body – inside out!

There’s loads to know about your body, and the chances are, even if you’ve had “the talk” at school or your parents have given you the birds and the bees chat, there’s a ton you’re still missing out on.

You might know the basics, but there’s a lot more to your body than that, and as you grow up and feel your body change with you, you’re going to want to know about all of it. 

How can you feel empowered about the choices you make or feel comfortable in your own skin if you don’t know everything there is to know about what’s going on in there?

Your body’s changing on the outside, but it’s changing on the inside too – and there’s a lot more to it than being prepared for your first period (although that’s important too!) 

In today’s world, we shy away from talking about the female anatomy, hygiene, and period health… and as a result, many young women feel a sense of secrecy and shame around their bodies.

You want something better for yourself than that. You want to be able to embrace every aspect of your body’s journey and love it just the way it is – and so you should! It’s a wonderful thing!
