I received Becoming You for Girls compliments of New Growth Press in exchange for my honest review. Use code DUPREZ for 5% off at Westminster Bookstore!
Becoming You for Girls is a new middle grade book by author and biblical counselor Darby Strickland. This book helps girls understand the changes their bodies will experience during puberty. The book doesn’t teach in depth about reproduction, but takes a very gentle, age and developmentally appropriate approach. It provides biblical wisdom and practical applications for young girls.
One of my favorite features of the book is how excellently it handles consent and teaching young girls how to protect their bodies and seek help from harmful people if needed. It provides girls with scripts to practice for keeping their bodies safe.
As a mother, and youth ministry leader, I appreciate their inclusion in the book. I enjoyed reading this book and wish it was available when I was younger. This is a book I’d feel comfortable hanging to any 9-11 year old girl, and one I will continually recommend.
