This short book is PACKED with information for teens about their bodies and identities. Parents and teens alike are certain to learn a thing or two about biological sex versus sexuality and identities.  From cis to trans, gay to pansexual and intersex, a wide array of topics are appropriately covered.  The author does a great job of preaching respect for all and the importance of maintaining privacy and not “outing” others.  The author even goes so far as to explain intercourse, pregnancy, birth contraception and more following the entirety of life. 

The Every Body Book is a simple read with illustrated pictures that help to cover or start the hard conversations parents and children are likely to encounter.  This all-encompassing guide is a great tool to keep on hand as your child matures.  Well compiled and detailed as author, Rachel E Simon, uses her experiences as a clinical psychotherapist and sexuality educator to provide children and families with a one-of-a-kind resource for understanding ourselves and others.

This was a thorough, well pitched and inclusive book for kids around 12 years old to help children and families begin to understand and talk about Sex, gender, bodies and relationships. It is really accessibly written and covers a wide range of topics. I do however wish it had included information around disability.

*I received a free copy of this book from Netgalley in return for an honest review*
