- Common Sense Media"A helpful, inviting breakdown of what puberty looks like for girls, with an emphasis on the uniqueness of every body."
- BookLife"This puberty book for girls is unique in that it provides not only the medical/health information from professionals but also real-life "my first period" stories from girls all over the U.S. Very approachable but still packed with answers to girls' questions."
- The Thoughtful Parent"An important point of differentiation from other popular puberty books is that this new offering provides "my first period" stories and advice from diverse girls across the U.S. to help young women understand that everything they're going through is normal. Parents will appreciate that the book incorporates factual health content and practical tips developed by adolescent health experts at Columbia University."
- L.A. Parent"...the graphic novel includes a refreshing dose of racial, ethnic, family, and body diversity in the girls depicted. Unlike lots of books that include discussions of sex, gender, or relationships, A Girl's Guide is pretty singularly focused on what puberty means for cis-girls."
