The changes a young girl experiences in her pre-teen to teen years both physical and emotional is a complex, delicate subject, but in the capable hands of Dr. Miriam Grossman, readers will find a straightforward discussion of everything young girls need to know about changes in the way they look, and in the way they feel.In chapters that are easy to understand, along with instructive illustrations, Dr. Grossman addresses the physiology of puberty, what happens in the body, why these changes occur and how to relate to them. More importantly, the author provides a fundamental spiritual perspective with an emphasis on modesty and how these changes prepare a maturing Jewish girl to her higher calling as a responsible adult and Jewish motherhood. When it comes to dealing with the challenges and meaning of a girl s growing up, The Wonder of Becoming You is a clear and reassuring guide that parents, educators, and young readers can turn to with confidence. - from Amzon
