"WHAT'S 

HAPPENING 

TO ME?"

by Peter Mayle

illustrated by Arthur Robins

For more than twenty years, the internationally bestselling team behind Where Did I Come From? has helped millions of parents and children talk about the facts of life in a straightforward yet lighthearted way that is respectful of young people’s natural intelligence.

 Warmly and relatably illustrated throughout, What’s Happening to Me? creates a safe space where families can talk about the physical and emotional changes that happen during puberty and adolescence, answering the questions that kids ask most often.
 
Why is my chest getting bumpy?

What's a wet dream?
What's a period?  

Why is my voice acting so funny?
Why do I get pimples?

What's an erection?
Why am I getting hairy?

Why is mine not like his?
 
This book answers the big questions, and explains the big changes.

One look at the illustrations will tell you that this is not a dull medical textbook but rather it presents the facts of puberty, and it presents them with honesty, sympathy and a sense of humour.

If you’ve been wondering how to have this talk with your children, look no further for a trusted resource that will give you the tools you need to share this critical information sensitively and factually.

How do you explain orgasm to a seven year old?

How do you explain the process of conception?

How much should you tell and what should you skip?

 And how do you tell it so that it interests your child and doesn't embarrass you?

Where Did I Come From? covers all the basic facts from love-making, orgasm, conception and growth inside the womb, through to the actual birth day. It names all the names and shows all the important parts of the body.
