Summary:
The two books – “Your Body is Your Home – Grow Up with a Smile!”: A Diary of Changes for Girls and A Diary of Changes for Boys, are a kind of guide through puberty. Written warmly and vividly, without distance and unobtrusively, they delicately and skillfully guide those entering this contradictory period of their lives, so that they feel more secure, braver and more like themselves as young people.
Adolescent girls and boys embark on an exciting journey towards themselves, in which they are about to rediscover how inspiring and meaningful the inevitable changes are and how important it is not to be afraid of them. Knowledge about the body is strength, and self-care is a skill, the first steps of which are learned precisely during these years of growth.

Comment:
Biology and psychology form a harmonious blend that turns the book into an indispensable assistant and companion for every maturing mind. Illustrated in a friendly and delicate way, these diaries of growing up are also a kind of visual map of the emotions in which every teenager is immersed.
The two diaries prepare young people for the upcoming processes, and in them they will find specific recommendations and instructions on how to get to know them and accept them with higher self-esteem and confidence.
It is no coincidence that the emphasis in the title is “Grow up with a smile!” – the author Barbara Petrushchak encourages a positive attitude and mindset, points out possible solutions, becomes an unobtrusive absentee interlocutor on topics that are difficult to share. The two books are a wonderful story about the beauty of growing up, which would contribute to the building of stronger and more prosperous personalities.
