About the author

Cara is a leading voice in puberty and adolescent health. A pediatrician, speaker and podcast host, she is a New York Times bestselling author of multiple books including The Care and Keeping of You series, with more than seven million copies in print, and the forthcoming This Is So Awkward: Modern Puberty Explained (Rodale Books, Oct 2023). Cara graduated from Harvard and John Hopkins Medical School and trained at UCSF.
When her own daughter started puberty, she realized there was no company dedicated to making this decade of life more comfortable….so she started one. When her son entered puberty, she realized that there was even less puberty content and product aimed at males… so she decided to fix that, too.

- Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2020... with little ladies.
I discovered this years ago as my daughter started asking questions once her body started to change earlier then expected. Although I went through all of it myself, it was still so helpful and useful to go thru with her. We started our own Girl Talk sesh with reading and discussing a chapter each week. I actually learned a few new things myself and it was nice to read it with her. Since discovering this - I've recommended numerous times and am now reading it with my niece (this copy). So fun! They have books for various ages so be sure to read the information before purchasing. Consider getting the journal for them to write their thoughts and do the activities included. It helps to be able to reference it later if needed. Thank you for publishing a book easy and friendly to read and understand.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2024This is for my granddaughter. I want her to know how and why her body is changing.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2015Got this for a young girl I know along with the book and she loves the journal so much. I feel really strongly about girls knowing about things that might be going on with them inside and their bodies, that they may be unaware . Please let them realize that their bodies are not to be ashamed off - we come in all shapes and sizes and colors and abilities. Like Mr. Rogers says - I wish to tell all young girls: I like you just the way you are (which is so important for girls at this age). I talked to her mom about it and let her look at it to "approve" and mom and daughter will be reading book together. American Girls has a lot of fun books and such. Check them out. Not a bad investment even for adults ;)
- Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2017My great granddaughters loved these journals and the corresponding books. I gave the 10 year old the one for younger girls and the 12 yr old this one. I can't rate them highly enough (the books and the girls ha!).The books relieved their anxiety and curiosity about their changing bodies. Helpful for all preteen and teen girls but it's almost essential for girls who live with their fathers or for girls who live in foster care or are just too embarrassed to ask questions. It is written in a fun style not at all like a text book as it answers questions about periods,bras, hygiene, body odor, pimples, body hair, etc.

- Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2023I bought this for my pre-teen hoping she would like it and use it but with tweens you just can't be certain! lol To my delight she not only used it but talked to me about the prompts and asked me what I thought. I'm very happy with how the journal is structured and written.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2022This is a wonderful companion to the first book.

I got this for my 9 year old daughter. We have the care and keeping of you books 1&2, and this journal was great for her to reflect on things and write in. Great ideas for pre-teen kiddos.
