Reviews:
A groundbreaking book and invaluable resource for families navigating those first conversations around puberty, sex, consent and gender, The Every Body Book has given "the talk" an inclusive makeover. This book is a must read for parents and caregivers of children of all gender identities and expressions - along with anyone who wants their children to learn the value of kindness, respect and diversity.--Jo Hirst, Author of A House for Everyone
This book is fantastic! It's inclusive, medically accurate, gender affirming, body positive, and comprehensive in its delivery of the education young people need to understand bodies, identities, relationships, and sexual health. It delivers information using a tone that invites young people's curiosities and normalizes their unique experiences, coupled with beautifully diverse illustrations. This book is a must-have for youth, families, schools, and professionals working with young people.--Melissa Carnagey, founder of Sex Positive Families
