Response:
This book is a good resource for children and young
adults to find the answers to what they are looking for, in regards to sexual health,
emotional health, relationships, and even sexual orientation. The pictures completely
compliment the text, they are true to form, and anatomically correct. The new
edition to the book which was revised, have two new topics, internet safety and
information on sexting. Some information and explanations have been updated as
well, they are the ones dealing with gender, sexual abuse and information for transgender
youth. This subject matter is extremely relevant for children who are curious, inquisitive
and want to know about their bodies, relationships and other normal things but
are too shy to ask. The targeted audience for this book is 10-14 years of age.
