A Must-Have for Every Young Girl (and the Adults Who Support Them)
It’s informative, supportive, and explained everything in such a clear, age-appropriate way. What I love most is how it talks about puberty and periods without any shame or awkwardness—just honest, empowering information.
It’s perfect for helping young girls understand their bodies and feel confident about the changes they’re going through. Whether you’re a parent, aunt, or mentor, this is an amazing resource to help open up the conversation. I wish something like this existed when I was growing up.

Wonderful!
This is a wonderfully presented book for young girls ready to begin Puberty. I shared it with my 11 year old granddaughter and she felt it took away much anxiety and fear of the unknown. The author made everything "matter of fact" it happens to every young woman on the planet. You are not alone. She gives practical tips to be prepared and shares how to handle every situation imaginable that may be a worry on the mind of a young girl. The helpful tips on the different types of products that can be used for multiple situations, sport, swimming, nighttime, etc. Wonderfully done.

Wish this had been around 25 years ago.
This is a topic that so many girls struggle with and do not really want to talk much about. The book makes the whole puberty deal feel less awkward. It explained what is happening with just the right tone without being too babyish. I also think, having a resource that girls can learn from instead of having to ask a person questions is very helpful. That way they do not feel like they are asking "stupid" questions. Highly recommend if you have a girl that is close to puberty.

Not as scary as I thought it’d be
I listened to this with my daughter, and honestly, we both ended up learning things. It broke stuff down in a way that felt normal—not like a health class lecture. She actually asked to keep listening, which says a lot. It covered stuff I wish I’d heard at her age, and I liked how it didn’t try too hard to be “cool” or awkwardly funny. Just clear, calm, and helpful without making things weird.

The Talk Made Easy!
Bought this for my 11-year-old daughter who was asking questions I struggled to answer clearly. We listened together, and it sparked honest conversations we might have avoided otherwise. It helped her understand without embarrassment. I wish I'd had this book when I was younger—it would've saved me lots of confusion! My daughter feels prepared and confident now, which is exactly what I hoped for. Definitely worth getting before those first changes start.

Great book for Young Girls!
This audiobook is a compassionate and empowering resource for young girls navigating puberty's often confusing and emotional journey. With warmth, clarity, and sensitivity, The Essential Girl's Guide to Puberty & Periods offers scientific understanding and heartfelt reassurance. It breaks down complex physical, emotional, and hormonal changes in a way that’s easy to understand and genuinely engaging.
One of the book's most valuable lessons is the message that change is not something to fear but something to embrace. The narration encourages girls to feel proud of their developing bodies and offers comforting truths about mood swings, growth spurts, and menstruation without shame or embarrassment. It fosters emotional intelligence by reminding young listeners that their feelings are valid and part of growing up.
The audio quality is excellent—clear, steady, and soothing. The narrator’s voice is calm and confident, helping the listener feel safe and supported throughout the book. The pacing is just right, allowing time for each concept to settle in.
Whether it’s understanding how periods work, handling hygiene with grace, or speaking up for oneself, this audiobook serves as both a mentor and a friend. It helps young girls build confidence, feel empowered in their bodies, and know they are not alone. This guide is more than just informative—it's an essential companion for any girl starting her puberty journey with curiosity and courage.

Helped My Daughter So Much
I got this for my 10-year-old and we read parts of it together. She felt way more comfortable asking questions after, and it sparked some really good conversations. It explains things clearly without being awkward or overwhelming. I honestly wish I had something like this growing up. It’s made her feel more prepared and confident about what’s coming, and that’s all I could hope for as a parent. Definitely recommend for girls starting this stage.
