Finding a first period book for girls can be a challenge. When your daughter starts her period, you want her to feel prepared—not embarrassed, overwhelmed, or awkward. But most puberty books about periods feel way too medical and difficult to follow for young tween girls.
Enter Jenna.

About the Book:
In Jenna Talks Periods, girls meet a relatable fictional friend who explains puberty in a fun, comforting, and easy-to-understand way. Jenna makes periods a normal thing to talk about through real talk, helpful tips, and a sprinkle of humor.
Written by a mom who was dreading the period talk with her daughter, and wanted a cute and fun approach to the subject. This book covers the questions girls actually have. From pads and cramps to mood swings and leaks—without the confusing medical language.
Whether you read it together or let your daughter explore it on her own, Jenna Talks Periods is designed to help tween girls feel confident and prepared for this new stage of growing up. This is the perfect first period book for girls.
About the Author:
The moment my daughter was born, I knew the period talk was going to be a struggle for me. I remember my own Mom trying to teach me about periods and it was very confusing and awkward – mostly because she didn’t have any idea where to start (love you, Mom!). Between my Mom, health class at school, and some internet searching – I was super overwhelmed and more confused than ever.
Everyone had a different way of explaining things and everything was kept pretty high level. I wanted details.
- What size pads do I use and when in my cycle should I wear them?
- How do I know when my period will start each month?
- What should I pack in backpack for school?
- If I leak and get a red spot on the back of my pants – what the heck do I do?!
I created Jenna Talks Periods so tween girls getting close to starting their period felt READY. These are the types of questions you can expect to be answers to. It also comes with an amazing bonus section that includes printouts, a period glossary, and helpful tips – like how to wash period stains out of your clothes.
This book was carefully created from real questions, personal experiences, and a lot of love. It’s the ultimate first period book for girls.
