Additional Notes
| From The Publisher* | When children wonder about sex, where will they go for the answers? Providing accurate, lucid, unbiased answers to nearly every conceivable question children may have about sexuality, IT'S PERFECTLY NORMAL is here to help. From conception and puberty to birth control and AIDS, it is a refreshingly open and thorough presentation of the facts of sex-both biological and psychological-which children need now more than ever. Throughout, two cartoon characters, a curious bird, and a squeamish bee reflect the diverse feelings children often have about sex. Packed with warm, age-appropriate illustrations, often humorous but always scientifically correct, IT'S PERFECTLY NORMAL offers children the reassurance that the changes and emotions they experience while growing up are perfectly normal. |
| Review Quote* | "It's Perfectly Normal is informative and interesting; reassuring and responsible; warm and charming. I wish every child (and parent) could have a copy." - Penelope Leach, Ph.D., author of YOUR BABY & CHILD "I recommend [IT'S PERFECTLY NORMAL] to parents and children who are coming into adolescence. They will love it." - T. Berry Brazelton, M.D. author of TOUCHPOINTS "A perfectly wonderful treatment of the always touchy subject of sex education for young people. The book treats the subject seriously and its intended readers respectfully." - Hugh B. Price, president, National Urban League, Inc. |
