About This Book

Millions of girls have turned to "The Care & Keeping of You" and "The Feelings Book" for advice about growing up. This special collection includes both bestselling books, plus two companion journals to help girls take great care of themselves--inside and out. Also includes a pretty little pouch for storing lip balm, lotion, and other personal supplies.

Our Review

This essential collection provides girls navigating the tween years with comprehensive guidance on physical health and emotional wellness, covering everything from basic hygiene and body changes to understanding complex feelings. The bestselling books offer clear, age-appropriate explanations about puberty and self-care, demystifying the transition into adolescence with reassuring and factual information. Paired with companion journals, this set transforms abstract advice into a personal, interactive experience, encouraging girls to reflect on their own growth and emotions. The included storage pouch adds a practical and delightful touch for keeping personal care items private and organized.

What truly distinguishes this collection is its holistic approach, seamlessly blending the practical aspects of physical development with the crucial skills of emotional intelligence. Girls who are beginning to notice bodily changes or experiencing new social pressures will find a trusted, non-judgmental resource that validates their experiences and questions. By providing both knowledge and a private outlet for self-expression, this set empowers young readers to take an active role in their own well-being. It’s a foundational toolkit that fosters confidence and self-awareness during a pivotal time of life.
