Reviews for What Is A Girl? What Is A Boy? I’ve been waiting for a book which speaks to a young child’s natural curiosity about the human body, with simplicity and beauty, without pretension or embarrassment. I’ve been looking for a book which refutes traditional sex roles, but does not preach. I’ve found it in Stephanie Waxman’s book. I have been recommending this timeless book since its original publication in 1976. Thank goodness it is being reissued so a whole new generation will benefit from its unbiased lessons. With What Is A Girl? What Is A Boy? parents can comfortably initiate conversations about bodies, gender and what makes us who we are. This book can be turned to again and again for exploration and understanding. How great that it’s back. My wife and I used What Is A Girl? What Is A Boy? when our young children were dealing with toilet training. Though it doesn't even mention toilet training, in an indirect way it offered reassurance to our kids, which is why I have recommended it to my patients. |
