Funny, kind and wise
Daisy Buchanan
This book frees girls from any ill-conceived myths about what they should or shouldn’t be feeling as they go through puberty. It says that you are ok the way you are - a message that could not be more important particularly during this crucial time where our bodies are going through a revolution.
