The Girl Guide: 50 Lessons in Learning to Love Your Changing Body
Author(s): Marawa Ibrahim
Highly Commended at the British Book Design and Production Awards 2017
Aimed at girls going through puberty, Marawa Ibrahim filled this book with all the advice she wished she had received when she was ten.
This is a bright and fun book, full of paper collages and lively conversations about being comfortable, happy and healthy in your body throughout the changes of puberty.
The Girl Guide is full of stories of Ibrahim's own experiences growing up, such as leaky periods, trying to find pants that fitted her, dealing with thrush, and getting to know her vulva. She discusses the importance of feeling confident in being yourself and about the benefits of things such as dancing, meditating, sleeping and stretching.
A positive and reassuring guide for ages 10+
