Media Reviews
Girl to Girl is an engaging resource for girls going through puberty. Sarah O'Leary Burningham addresses the wide range of emotional and physical changes that girls experience in a way that is comprehensive, fun, and caring.

Girl to Girl is a desperately needed guide for girls ages 8-12. This tween age has been woefully unattended to, and has long needed a visually interesting and emotionally accessible book on growing up. Girl to Girl gives age appropriate information on girl's bodies and sexuality and does it in an engaging, unembarrassed manner. And parents of diverse backgrounds, who have been looking for a book to lean on and learn from, have got their wish. Real girls inhabit these pages and share what readers will want to know-and what they'll need to know.

Ever wish you had a smart, savvy, cool big sister to give you the inside scoop on your changing body and emotions? Sarah O'Leary Burningham delivers! Practical and confidence-building, she covers everything from taking care of your changing hair and face, to a great how-to for learning to shave the legs. Going through puberty leaves some feeling alone and confused. Girl to Girl leaves girls feeling understood and self-assured.
