"Safe" puberty books for girls

Looking to buy some from DD, but worried I'll inadvertently get something that tells her the reason she is uncomfortable with her changing body is because she is actually a boy...

Any recommendations? She needs something that goes into a good amount of detail as she wants to know the biological why's behind things.

I don't think I have ever seen any puberty books aimed at girls that say that ! I got my girl one that's an usbourne book I think. I will try and find a picture.

This is the one I got. Scholastic Books not Usbourne (although they're do good ones too).

I bought this book a few years ago for my dd, she found it useful.

I don't have anything to recommend but I do know that "the breast book" has chapters on breast binding and mastectomies presented as if these are totally fine and normal, so definitely give that one a swerve.

Yes, that was a massive shame as the rest sounded brilliant.

You haven't looked very far, bookmum... The world has become a very strange place

Thanks folks, this was promoted by reading one of Dads older ones and noting how it spoke about male and female features etc, and wondering if this was still the case, or if it was all "some girls and some boys have vaginas".

DD already has the first care and keeping of you, I didn't realise there was a sequel so thanks for that!

The Usborne one looks good too, but DD associated Usborne with children's books and would be most affronted
