gender for kids 10 and up, You Know, Sex is the
much-anticipated third book in the trilogy that started with the
award-winning What Makes a Baby
and Sex Is a Funny Word
In a bright graphic format featuring
four dynamic middle schoolers, You
Know, Sex grounds sex
education in social justice, covering not only the big three of
puberty—hormones, reproduction, and development—but also power,
pleasure, and how to be a decent human being.
Centering young people’s
experiences of pressures and joy, risk and reward, and confusion and
discovery, there are chapters on body autonomy, disclosure, stigma,
harassment, pornography, trauma, masturbation, consent, boundaries
and safety in our media-saturated world, puberty and reproduction
that includes trans, non-binary, and intersex bodies and experience,
and more.
Racially and ethnically diverse,
inclusive of cross-disability experience, this is a book for every
kind of young person and every kind of family.
You Know, Sex
is the first thoroughly modern sex ed book for every body navigating
puberty and adolesence, essential for kids, everyone who knows a kid,
and anyone who has ever been a kid.
