For anyone looking for healthy resources to teach kids/teens about sex from a Christian perspective, this is a good one. I especially appreciated that it teaches a healthy sexual ethic to both boys and girls, encourages normalizing open conversation, and does not push gendered stereotypes like “girls are supposed to be like this and boys will always want to be like that.”

Short, simple, very well done, albeit a little dated.

Parents will definitely want to flip through this beforehand and decide how much you want your kids to see…the illustrations might be a bit too grammatically correct for the 11/12 year old range. It could be shocking or uncomfortable for them to come across. They are all black and white cartoon drawings, but pretty detailed.

Another great installment in the series - this one for 11-14 year olds. I really like that it's Christian-based, and appropriate and very informative for older kids. It will be great for my 13 year old!
