The title tells you all you need to know. Not “manage” your period, not “handle” your period, but “OWN” your period. That’s the best period-positive title I’ve seen in a book dealing with periods. The content of the book is in sync with the title. But sometimes, I felt that it went into an information overdrive, especially considering that it is aimed at preteens and above.

This feedback comes from me as an Indian parent. I am sure the response will differ from country to show more country and culture to culture. I have tried to provide all relevant information so you can decide if your child is ready for this book or not.

On the pro side, the book talks of everything to do with understanding and managing menstruation. show less

This is an interesting short book on how to be Period Positive and take some control, and also being aware that a lot of what we hear about periods is wrong or associated with commercial companies.

Well worth a read if you're a menstruator or have a relationship with one. A book I wish I had had earlier in my life.
