It's Perfectly Normal


Harris, R. (2014).    It's perfectly normal: Changing bodies, growing up, sex, and sexual health.  Boston, MA: Candlewick Press.

Summary:

This book provides lots of information for children about the uncomfortable things they have questions about as they begin to grow and their bodies change. The book describes the body design, growing up, and other related sexual health questions through dialogue, characters, diagrams, and illustrations. Children and parents will enjoy using this book as a reference for their many questions or as a talking point for several discussions. 

Evaluative Criteria:

Organization:›The organization and layout of It’s Perfectly Normal allows the reader to pick and choose what section they would like to read information about. The text includes different ways to present information to readers over the age of 10 in ways that they can understand and connect with. They do this by including diagrams, illustrations, graphics, and the use of comic strips to relay information. The text also uses references to other sources for their work and an index to help readers locate specific topics.
