Insightful and considerate answers to 70 questions boys and girls have about puberty and young love. Even before they experience puberty and young love themselves, girls and boys have many questions about sex and sexuality. Parents often don't know the best way to answer them and it's practically impossible to find the right time to start a conversation about the birds and the bees. Especially today, when most young people have access to the internet and its explicit or dubious content, it is extremely important to address the topic of sex education with children proactively and give it the attention it needs and deserves. As daunting as it might be for parents to take the lead, leaving the internet or a classmate to explain sexuality is not an option. Thankfully, the book Does This Happen to Everyone? offers a welcome alternative with a contemporary look and feel that is both fitting for kids and appealing to adults. Does This Happen to Everyone? is an empathetic and entertaining publication that radiates joy, imaginativeness, and fun. In it, Photo artist Jan von Holleben and writer Antje Helms provide answers to the most important questions about puberty in words and images that are relaxed and uninhibited, yet suitable for children. The book takes questions, worries, and fears seriously and responds to them in a direct, yet sensitive way that anyone can understand.

Gilda-Grams to Remember

• No matter what a guy tells you, the only things to believe are his actions.
• To have a good friend, you must be a good friend.
• Attracting attention is not the same as attracting love.
• It's not important to be part of a couple. It's more important to be part of the right couple.

Every girl has wondered how they need to act or what they need to do to get a certain boy's attention. Now they can know!

Chad Eastham will encourage girls to be confident in who they are and Whose they are. Girls need to know that they are treasures to be adored and that how she feels about herself is how guys will treat her.

Chapter titles add fun and interest to this life-altering message. Guys Like Girls Who . . .

• Wear Jeans (comfortable with who they are and Whose they are)
• Know the Future (understand there is a 96% chance this is not the boy they will marry so don't act like they are)
• Leave Us Alone (have their own hobbies)
• Can Spell (can say no)
• Eat Tofu (live a healthy lifestyle)

Okay, it's a fact. God made guys and girls different in more ways than just the physical.

But how different could we really be? After all, we are all made in His image, right? Well, yes, but let's just say that guys and girls view the world in such different ways, that it's a miracle we communicate at all. What's worse is that girls this age often think they know what makes guys tick. That couldn't be more wrong

Chad Eastham tells it like it is . . . to girls . . . from a guy's perspective. As a popular presenter at Revolve conferences, he is known for his ability to speak truth and to give girls clearer perspective about guys and themselves as well as understand their own value. Chad explains, You are incredibly valuable and worthy simply because God created you.

Readers will also love watching Chad in action through free online streaming of his Truth About Guys DVD, which includes Chad's stage presentation as well as on-the-street interviews with teens and friends in the music industry.
