Book Reviews of First Moon: Celebration and Support for a Girl's Growing-Up Journey

Book Review: Answer to Why religion is in this book?
Summary: 5 Stars

I just love reading the comments and reviews of books I own and books I plan to buy.To A.S. (who suggests this book should be left to the Mormons) and Mo whose innocent response is "huggable," do not understand that this book is written for those who honor Earth religions. The "First Moon" (first period) is considered a very sacred moment for our young daughters. That doesn't mean you have to be pagan to buy the book. I'm sure that once "First Moon" is understood, many others will want their daughters to read the book, too. Becoming a woman is a momentous occasion for girls, and should not be hidden under the blanket of patriarchal shame. CELEBRATE!!!!

Summary of First Moon: Celebration and Support for a Girl's Growing-Up Journey

Full of facts and fun, this lovely kit helps girls understand and enjoy the transition into womanhood. This charming boxed set, developed by an experienced facilitator of girls' self-esteem circles is designed to support girls as they develop physically and socially into young women, specifically at the time leading up to and including their first menstrual period. It offers easy-to-understand biological information as well as guidance for going through the emotional and social changes of puberty with grace and confidence. It includes a journal as well as a guidebook featuring stories from girls around the world, affirmations, visualizations ("Moontime Meditations"), rituals ("Moontime Magic"), and crafts and projects ranging from beading and baking to beauty treatments. It also contains stickers, henna tattoos, a calendar (the "Flow Chart"), and a moon cycle spinner wheel. Down-to-earth, warm, and encouraging, First Moon is a welcome resource for young girls and their parents, and a thoughtful gift for girls ages nine to 14.
