You-Ology: A Puberty Guide for Every Body

“As a mom of a transgender daughter, I’m delighted that You-ology explains and illustrates puberty in an inclusive and sensitive manner.”
—Jeanette Jennings, president and cofounder of the TransKids Purple Rainbow Foundation, mom of trans youth activist Jazz Jennings, and cast member of the award-winning TLC docuseries, I Am Jazz

From the most trusted name in child health, American Academy of Pediatrics, comes a new, inclusive approach to learning about puberty!

Remember that awkward day in school when the boys went to one classroom and the girls to another and everyone nervously giggled, learning about taboo topics like menstruation and erections? What if your kids could learn about changing bodies in a way that isn’t secretive or shameful? And what if it could even be inclusive, fun, and, well, kind of adorable?

A new kind of puberty guide, You-ology embraces an inclusive approach that normalizes puberty for all kids. Traditional puberty education only contributes to a sense of isolation and often does not include all kids’ experience of puberty and leaves kids with questions about how puberty will affect their friends and classmates.

For curious kids and parents looking to talk about puberty in an inclusive way, You-ology offers fact-based, age-appropriate, and body positive information about the physical, social, and emotional changes ahead for all kids.

Colorful illustrations keep the tone upbeat and engaging, while short stories featuring a cast of diverse characters add relatability and humor. Helping kids understand what EVERY body goes through in puberty, grows greater compassion and empathy for all.
