About the Books:
What's Happening To Me? The Boy One (What and Why) delivers a straightforward, reassuring tour through puberty tailored for boys. The book uses friendly language and cartoon-style illustrations to explain physical changes—from growth spurts to voice changes and body hair—in terms a 10-year-old reader can grasp. Beyond biology, it explores the emotional shifts that come with growing up: mood swings, new attractions, friendships, and questions about who you are. Topics are broken into short, digestible sections, offering clear examples, checklists, and tips for talking with parents, teachers, or peers. Real-life scenarios help readers recognize that puberty is a normal part of growing up, not a problem to fear. The revised edition adds updated terminology and more inclusive guidance, acknowledging diverse experiences while remaining accessible. The book emphasizes asking questions, seeking trusted adults, and building healthy routines around sleep and self-care. It also reassures readers that curiosity about sexuality and identity is a normal, age-appropriate part of maturing, and it provides language to describe those feelings. With its durable paperback format and friendly design, it’s a practical first reference for kids who haven’t started puberty yet, as well as a helpful companion for those who are just beginning. Parents and caregivers will appreciate the clear boundary-setting tips and the emphasis on consent, safety, and respect in conversations about bodies and boundaries.
