Kids ask a lot of questions (and that's an understatement). Sometimes the answers are easy for parents to come up with . . . and sometimes they're a little more complicated. That's what this book is for When Boys and Girls Become Men and Women should accompany children (and their parents) on the long road to adulthood and allows both groups to explore this new territory together, step by step.
