Welcome to Your Period! by Melissa Kang, Yumi Stynes
5.0
A very thorough and helpful guide for people who experience periods. I wish this existed when I was a kid, because it is so detailed and covers so many feelings and questions that I didn't know to ask about when I was young and preparing for my own period. My parents were always willing to listen and educate when they could, but it's hard to prepare yourself or your kids for everything. This goes a long way toward reaching that goal.
I was also very pleased with the author's brief but important inclusion of information specific to persons with disabilities as well as trans and non-binary folx. Yes, trans and non-binary people exist and they experience these issues differently than us cis folx. These are the facts.
This book is informative for all kids -- including those who will never have periods (see the Ally chapter!) -- for a full understanding of what our bodies and minds experience during periods and menstrual cycles.
