Time Blossom. From a Girl to a Woman

Meetings happen in truly diverse fashions. Sometimes it happens face to face, and sometimes through a medium such as a book, like the meeting that is happening between you and me now. We cannot see or hear each other but we can converse with each other through our imaginations.

When puberty arrives, a deep physical and psychological change starts. Adolescent girls seek information from their equally clueless friends, or worse, from the internet. This fills them with confusing and wrong information, which causes them anguish and often leads them to make bad decisions.
It is hard to find a book that speaks so directly, comprehensively and respectfully about female puberty. Without ideology or imperative tone, Korean author Kyungsun Lee presents a broad and friendly guide that accompanies young girls and touches adults, creating a bridge of intergenerational communication and intimacy. The book focuses on four essential aspects: self-esteem, physical and emotional transformations, the responsibilities that come with such changes, and ways to find happiness in daily life.
Colourful illustrations and user-friendly concept maps inform and enable readers to make their own decisions about how to deal with their physical changes and manage aspects of everyday life, including their relationship with love. Like a good friend, this book discusses puberty without false modesty and with all the respect girls deserve. Its goal is to make them see that the transition from girl to woman is a fabulous and challenging adventure and to wish them all the best in the journey they are about to embark on.
