Text and illustrations by St. Stephen's Community House. Published by Annick Press Ltd., 2006. Description: |
| The Little Black Book for Girlz is a super-important guide
for girls — written by teens for teens. Check it out: not just a book about sex, but a look at girl culture by youth themselves. No stuffy school textbook. No nosey adults. Just a diverse group of teen girls from a community youth project who had questions about sexuality. To find answers, they collected stories, poetry, and artwork from other youth. They also interviewed frontline health experts to get solid facts about the stuff young women have to deal with. Everything has been vetted by doctors, and the book is endorsed by health professionals, so you know you're getting good info. There's also a section at the back with places you can contact to find out more. It's a great mix of real-life examples and life-saving info. Topics include:
St. Stephen's Community House is community-based social service agency in Toronto that assists more than 32,000 people each year. Their self-published edition on which this book is based has been used by educators and social workers across North America. "... excellent book ... sex-ed material that [is] equally positive and empowering ... frank, girl-friendly but never cloying tone ..." – The Globe and Mail "What a great resource!" – Dr. Karen Leslie, MD, FRCPC, Staff Paediatrician, Division of Adolescent Medicine, Associate Professor of Paediatrics, The Hospital for Sick Children and the University of Toronto. |
