Harris, R. (2014). It's perfectly normal: Changing bodies, growing up, sex, and sexual health. Boston, MA: Candlewick Press.
To quote NPR, "It's perfectly normal, but its also frequently banned." No topic is left untouched in this child-like explanation of puberty, sex and sexual health. The details and drawings are geared towards a young audience while fully describing topics that are usually meant for a more mature crowd. The argument can be made that this book is too explicit for young children and should only be introduced to a child through a parent's careful guidance. The addition of several controversial topics such as homosexuality and abortion make it a book that's purpose may be overshadowed by its implementation.
