GROWING UP
"I'd like to know if there any books out there that can help me and my mother to discuss about our body and what happen to becoming a woman and what does that mean and my aunt told me about a book from American Girl Library "taking care of my body and you is this good or not please put us in the right directions. Thank you." – Jordan D., 10 years old
