How can the savviest and most connected generation in history have no photographic guide to puberty? Until now! The Real Body Manual is a comprehensive health and wellness guidebook for all genders—from the author of the ALA Quick Pick for Reluctant Young Adult Readers and instant New York Times and USA Today bestseller Body Drama. Inspired by her own kids entering the tween and teen years, Nancy Redd has crafted a uniquely inclusive book that offers a factual and candid approach to the complex and often confusing body issues that all young people face. This go-to resource or all types of developing bodies contains medically vetted, relatable advice alongside full-color photographic references.
The Real Body Manual is for curious readers from puberty and beyond and is a conversation starter for parents, caregivers, uncles and aunts, older siblings, counselors, teachers, and health professionals—essentially anyone who would like to more fully understand and effectively relate to the body-image and self-discovery challenges faced by the young people in their life.
Created with today's open-minded and diverse kids in mind, this book tackles acne, body odor, constipation and diarrhea, chests and breasts, dandruff, sleep hygiene, sexual health, self-care, and so much more in a judgement-free and gender-neutral way. The Real Body Manual is the encouraging book that modern young adults are waiting for—and an eye-opening book their parents are likely to learn from, too!

      Grades 7-12 It's natural to have questions about even the tiniest change in our bodies, especially for young people. Redd's manual is a comprehensive examination of the human body, putting pubescent and adult fears to rest by explaining the many things that happen to our bodies. Divided into sections for different body parts and systems including skin, hair, chests, digestive systems, and genitalia, Redd breaks down each topic with the expertise of an educator, clearly explaining phenomena regarding different parts of the body. This includes hygiene tips, extremes in bodily functions and appearances, and suggestions on when to consult a doctor. Redd also includes sections on gender and sexual health as well as mental and emotional health, further completing the inside look at how we can best take care of ourselves. By highlighting what is normal and what to look out for, while celebrating the differences among us all, this does indeed serve as a how-to guide for being a human.
