Book about puberty for 10 year old girl?

Can anyone recommend a book for DD to read please? I’ve told her about periods etc obviously but I think she’d like to be able to read and absorb info at her leisure. I want something which is body-positive but to be blunt, I don’t want anything which will tell her that “not everyone who has periods is a girl” or anything like that. Has anyone got anything they would recommend?

Milli hill has one on periods that is fully gender critical

Maybe I should get some of these for my dgd before they get banned and replace with woke biology: 'Not everyone who has periods is a girl ...'

My daughter loved Milli Hill's book. V positive.

I second the Girls Guide to Growing Up. It’s entirely sensible and informative but fun.

There are 5 books in that image...

That image also has Rachel Rooney books, is it a GC website?

They are not specifically GC, just not "updated". In my view it is a good idea to give each sex both books, though the Girls book includes a section on boys and vice versa.

I've heard lots of hood things about this one:

we got The Care and Keeping of You - there’s one for younger and one for older girls, DD still refers to it occasionally now

No it's a snapshot of my amazon order list. I ordered the Rachel Rooney for my younger one, to avoid tantrums!

It’s niche , but I would avoid “ the autism friendly guide to periods”, it constantly says “ people have periods “

I am sure Milli Hill will be an appropriate choice but I was given this 1950s one in the 1970s by my Mum. It certainly didn't do me any harm lol:
