It's Perfectly Normal



Harris, R.  (2014). It’s perfectly normal. Boston, MA: Candlewick Press.

Media Type: Hardcover book
This book contains 98 pages with color illustrations.

Summary:
This book consists of explanations of how young adolescent teenagers deal with the traditional aspects of mental and physical changes.  These changes are endured throughout their lives.  It also explains how getting to know more of what sexuality is in the human life can have positive effects on their upbringings.  This is an informational book that is full of the different stages people go through.  Some of the chapters in this book include: puberty, safe internet use, decisions, homosexual relationships, the body, and how families and babies can stay healthy. It also includes dialogue along the running side between a bird and bee trying to clear out misconceptions or definitions of words to make readers connect with what the author is trying to convey. 

Response:
This book can be a great teaching tool for many subjects such as puberty, sexual orientation or even as tool for parents to teach children about their changing bodies. Schools can also use this book as a guide for various subjects discussed about puberty and sexuality.
