Girl in the Know - new book illustrated by Monika Melnychuk
Illustrated by Monika Melnychuk written by Anne Katz, published by Kids Can Press
Monika's latest tween book for Kids Can Press, just released. Girl in the Know is a straight-talking little manual packed with everything a girl should know about the many changes she can expect in puberty. Girls will find advice on everything from sexuality, mood swings, crushes, health and much more! I wish there was a manual for menopause!
Elaine Black writes in the School Library Journal (May 1, 2010): " This well-done primer will help guide irls through the physical and emotional changes that come with growing up. Using straightforward language and a no-nonsense approach. Katz's text explains puberty in a relaxed tone. The comprehensive section on nutrition, or "fueling up" is particularly good. Melnychuk's wonderful multicultural illustrations stand out as well. They are beautifully global and strike a great balance between cartoon and realistic art. These renderings combined with Kat's reassuring tone make this basic guide one of the better additions to the genre."
