A Kids Book About Periods

…if you haven’t come across the books, A Kid’s Book About…, they’re very clever. They basically distill quite complicated issues into very small amounts of text. And […] leaves you that space for exploration and discussion. – Patrice Lawrence, writer-in-residence * BookTrust *

Jessica Biel (she/her) is a daughter, sister, and mother who, yes, still gets her period. As a mentor, she educates herself and others about how to bridge the reproductive health knowledge gap. Oh, she’s also an actress and producer! In order to make cool things, she founded Iron Ocean Productions with her friend and partner, Michelle Purple (she/her). This book was created in partnership with PERIOD., a global, youth-fuelled nonprofit which strives to eradicate period poverty and stigma through service, education, and advocacy.
