Condition: BRAND NEW. Format: Paperback. ISBN: 9781805312994. Publisher: Usborne. Age Range: 10+. Overview:. What's Happening To Me? The Girl One is a brand-new, fully updated edition of Usborne's classic puberty guide, part of the "What and Why" series, written by Micaela Tapsell with all-new artwork throughout. Aimed primarily at readers with female bodies, it uses frank, clear and friendly language to explain the physical, emotional and social changes of growing up, while also opening up age-appropriate conversations about gender identity and sexuality for preteens, parents and teachers alike.. About the Book:. This 64-page paperback sits alongside young readers as they approach and move through puberty, answering questions they may feel too embarrassed to ask aloud. It walks through growth spurts, body hair, breast development and periods, pairing accurate science with practical, reassuring advice. The all-new artwork was created for this edition, reflecting a wider range of bodies and identities so more readers feel represented. Beyond biology, the book explores the emotional side of growing up: mood changes, self-consciousness, shifting friendships, and the pull between wanting independence and still needing support from trusted adults. It introduces gender identity and sexuality in a measured, age-appropriate way, giving readers vocabulary for topics that can otherwise feel confusing. Throughout, the tone favours curiosity over alarm, encouraging children to ask questions, check reliable sources, and talk things through with a parent, carer or teacher. Practical tips are woven in for the adults supporting them too, including guidance on starting conversations and knowing when extra reassurance might help. As a refreshed edition of a long-trusted Usborne title, it keeps what worked well before while bringing content and imagery firmly up to date, making it as useful on a school library shelf as on a bedside table at home..
