This book is jammed packed with need-to-know information, messages of respect and positive vibes to help tweens face puberty with confidence.

Teaching sexual health in schools has been a part of author Michelle's  job for 25 years. During this time she has created a unique program that has helped thousands of teens embark on puberty more confidently. This program (along with questions submitted by 560 tweens in my recent online survey) now forms the basis of Michelle's latest resources for families and schools.

With the help of comics, real-life stories and inspiring quotes, guys will learn about body parts and how they will change, get tips on how to care for their body and emotions (including their brain) and develop a mindset for enjoying life now and into the future.  It’s fun, engaging and purpose built for young minds aged 8 – 12.
