Harris, R. (2009). It’s perfectly normal. Boston, MA: Candlewick Press.
This book is all about the changes our bodies go through as we develop and grown in age. There are many questions that arise and at times we do not know how to answer some of those uncomfortable questions. Teens want to know why bodies and certain things are happening to them, and this book has most of the answers. “It’s Perfectly normal” is broken down into different sections by common questions, sex, decisions, and wraps it up by explaining how to stay healthy. This book contains a great amount of important information for the growing teens and also includes a thank you note, a bibliography, Index, a note to the reader, and a bit of information about the authors. This book was intended for children the age of 10 and up. If a curious student wanted another book like this, I would recommend “What’s Happening to my Body”, “Deal with it: A whole new approach to your body, brain and life as a goal”, ‘The boys body book: Everything you need to know for growing up you”, and “What’s the Big Secret?” Educators that teach sex education curriculum or even a health ed. class might find this resource very handy. Teens around this age are experiencing so many different emotions and body changes all at the same time, so we need to make sure we are educating them and supporting with accurate information to help them develop and be conscience of what is really happening to them, which is perfectly normal.
