Tajiri draws on her experience as the "Period Poet", a mother, and an artist, to create this must-have book for families. Her signature illustrations are simple, yet vibrant. The story has much depth, and will have your little one looking forward to her first period for years to come.

"This book is a gift to all mothers, daughters and future menstruators. Finally, a children's book that can convey the beauty of the menstrual cycle to our youth in words and pictures that are easily translated. This is a must read for all future menstruators." - Jenna Longoria, The Period Guru
