· Menstrual problems and how to handle them
· What if….. (includes answers to coping with unexpected periods when you have no access to shops & how to handle the situation of when clothing gets stained at school, etc)
· And lots more!
Debbie Palen's funny and sympathetic cartoons ease the confusion and exasperation you might feel and celebrate the new sense of power and maturity that your period can bring. Perfect for sharing, The Period Book is a trusty friend that can help you feel happy and confident about this new phase or your life.
