Sex Education as a topic can make parents, guardians, teachers and teens themselves uncomfortable, nervous and insecure. Add to that the idea of culture appropriateness and society around us and we have an even more pressing issue that needs to be addressed wisely and correctly.

The book takes a positive approach towards sex education by opening communication and enabling dialogue on subjects like periods, body image and relationships for girls. 'Growing Up Gracefully' not only gives accurate information on puberty (physical, emotional and social changes), personal grooming, internet safety and reproductive health of girls but also helps girls form a healthy attitude towards sex and sexual health.

It answers all sex related questions raised in the minds of adolescent girls. It initiates a sense of self awareness, protects them from being vulnerable to risky behaviour and resist sexual exploitation. It empowers them with social skills that help them in building positive relationships.

The book offers advice for key conversations and also answers FAQs related to gender identity, female hygiene and sex education.

The author offers down-to-earth, supportive guidance as she addresses pressing questions, directly without any prejudice, that girls may have relating to their changing bodies.
