One of the ten most frequently banned or challenged books of the 21st century, this guide for pre-teens and adolescents presents medically accurate, unbiased information about puberty, sexuality, and sexual health. It does not make value judgments or suggestions about what desires or behaviors are appropriate, and it normalizes the experiences we all have but are afraid to talk about.

I thought this book was awesome. I wish I'd read it when I was a teen. funny fact: my husband actually went to summer camp with the author's sons. ( )

This is a very frank, open book about every aspect of human development and sexuality. It covers everything from relationships to maturation to reproduction and much more. For supervised, guided reading only. ( )

The author writes in a reassuring manner, taking on controversial subjects and handling them easily, taking the embarrassment out of the equation.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0763624330, Paperback)

"Alternately playful and realistic, Emberley's . . . art reinforces
Harris's message that bodies come in all sizes, shapes, and colors — and that each variation is 'perfectly normal.'" — PUBLISHERS WEEKLY (starred review)


When young people have questions about sex, real answers can be hard to find. Providing accurate, unbiased answers to nearly every imaginable question, from conception and puberty to birth control and AIDS, IT'S PERFECTLY NORMAL offers young people the information they need — now more than ever — to make responsible decisions and to stay healthy. Already used as a trusted resource in twenty-five countries around the world (and translated into twenty-one languages), IT'S PERFECTLY NORMAL marks its tenth anniversary with a thoroughly updated edition that includes the latest information on such topics as birth control, hepatitis, HIV, and adoption, among others. This definitive new edition also reflects the recent input of parents, teachers, librarians, clergy, scientists, health professionals, and young readers themselves.
