Publisher Review A How should we answer the embarrassing questions of my child? At some point, the children ask: 'Mom, why is my breast getting bigger?' 'What is menstruation?' 'Why does my stomach hurt before my period?' There are many parents who find it difficult to give easy and accurate answers to the troubled questions of their daughters who feel a sudden change in their bodies before and after menarche. In addition, most of the girls’ worries don't stop there. They also have sensitive questions in their hearts that are hard to ask their parents, such as whether there is a big problem with a severe menstrual pain, how men and women are different, how babies are formed, and how masturbation habit affects their bodies. In this case, how should we approach our children? Here is a book, "Luna Llena's Secret Letter", in which a curious 5th grader, Luna Llena shares her concerns with her secret friend and asks questions to Dr. Amo. Therefore, unlike other sex education books, it provides accurate medical information while approaching children comfortably like close friends. About your attitude toward your body and mind "Luna Llena's Secret Letter" is full of useful information in real life, as well as medical knowledge about the body and sex. It contains hygiene habits that parents may not tell their children about, such as the types of sanitary pads on the market and how to use them, what color of vaginal discharge is normal, why menstrual cramps occur, how to wash their hands, how often and how to bathe their private parts. Undoubtedly it is good as a gift for your daughter before and after menarche. However, it is by no means the purpose of this book to simply convey a variety of knowledge and information. We often overlook certain symptoms that need to be confirmed, or we inflate minor worry, because studying is important right now and we are reluctant to talk about the matter. We should remember that a woman's body undergoes many changes throughout her life. It is most urgent to learn how to take an active care of her body, especially when she is facing menarche. "Luna Llena's Secret Letter" about the preciousness of the body, mind and soul, is enough to be a great friend to many girls in the world who will pioneer their lives.
