    • A Must-Have Book for Growing Girls!

I bought The Care and Keeping of You for my daughter, and it has been an absolute game-changer! It explains everything about body changes, hygiene, and self-care in a way that is age-appropriate, informative, and reassuring. ✔ Easy to Understand – The language is clear and perfect for young readers. ✔ Covers Important Topics – Everything from body changes to emotional well-being. ✔ Empowering & Positive – Helps girls feel confident about growing up. ✔ Great Illustrations – Engaging and visually helpful. My daughter feels more prepared and comfortable about the changes ahead, and I love that it encourages self-care and body positivity. If you’re looking for a supportive, educational book for preteens, this one is a must-have! Highly recommend! ... show more

    • Great introduction to puberty for young girls
I got this for my ten year old to help her understand some of the changes her body is and will be going through during puberty. It's a great book that is appropriately written for young girls to read and feel positive about these new changes they are experiencing. We don't always know exactly what to share at what age and sometimes it is easier for the child to read about it for themselves without feeling any other opinions. Highly recommend. ... show more

    • Great book for elementary school
My kiddo is an elementary school and I was trying to figure out a good book for her to read. My coworker made the suggestion. They keep it informative, light, enough description to explain what's going on but not enough detail to where you're asked a million questions and now stuck in an uncomfortable situation. They do have some diagrams and pictures in the book although I don't remember seeing any of private areas. It taught my kiddo a lot about her body that will change as she gets a little older. We were able to discuss feminine products and it encouraged her to take a shower. Great book and I recommend it! ... show more

Is this book is perfect for girls age 8 to 10. Not only does it show you what products do, it shows you how to use them. In fun and colorful illustrations appropriate for their age. This is exactly what I was looking for for my 8-year-old. Every page is fun and informative which keeps you engaged. And the writing is perfect for their reading level. ... show more

    • Good conversation topics for 10 year old girls
This is a great book for my 10 year old. It covers necessary topics without discussing certain things that she doesn't need to learn about yet. No sex conversations. Just discussions about how her body will be changing and how to take care of it. Along with topics regarding friendships and the other things that come with becoming an adolescent. ... show more

    • The BEST intro to puberty for young girls
The BEST intro to puberty for young girls. Was informative but not overly divulging or graphic. Sticks to puberty/body changes and doesn't get into reproduction. Written in a way that is understandable and umbrella level. Would recommend for sure!

    • Highly recommended for 8–10 year-old girls
The Care and Keeping of You 1: The Body Book for Younger Girls (American Girl® Wellbeing): This book was recommended during yearly 9th year daughter’s checkup by her doctor. I think it’s pretty good to prepare young girls for body changes. It is more than just puberty information, but various things in life, emotions, and caring for oneself and body. It does lead to lots of questions but at least this book is great as explaining in age-appropriate ways some of them. My daughter really liked the book. ... show more
