I just noticed a couple of weeks ago that my dd (8.5) is showing signs of possible 'breast buds'. At first I noticed a color change and slightly raised nipples. I have reopened the discussion of body changes in girls as they grow older and she seemed far more eager to hear what I had to say than a few months ago which leads me to believe that this is a good time to introduce appropriate materials for her to read and look through.
In fact, we were at a book store a couple days ago and I randomly picked up a book about girls bodies (An American Girl Book) and was flipping through it. She immediately came over and was looking through with me and she begged me to buy it for her...I did and she hasn't taken her nose out of it for three days now. She has read it cover to cover on her own and has had me read it aloud cover to cover as well. She has asked some questions and has said that she really really likes that book. I am comfortable with the book but I would like to see what else is out there.
If you have any reccomendations on books for girls entering puberty or developing bodies I would love to hear them and my dd's newly insatiable appetite for womanly knowledge will appreciate it!
TIA!
