The general subject of this books is getting to know your body during a time when it is constantly changing. This book walks teens through what sex is, going through different aspects of it to answer questions that young people may have, through what changes are happening to their bodies, inside and out, what puberty is, keeping themselves healthy and what decisions they may need to make in regards to abortions, birth control, and how families are made. This book has cute little characters, a bird and a bee, that are present throughout the whole book, and follow along with the content, asking and answering questions. Throughout the entire book there are pictures to illustrate parts of the body and other things that the book is discussing. This book has a detailed table of contents and index that will help readers find the exact information they are looking for.

Teens have questions about their body. Most of the time they get the answers to their questions from their peers who do not always have the correct information. This book would be valuable for health classes to give students information in a way that they will understand and that will be interesting to them. 

All children will develop differently and at different times, as is mentioned in the textbook, (p. 20). Sometimes children will have questions that they are too scared to ask their parents and they will end up asking their peers, which will get them some crazy answers at times. The book It's Perfectly Normal will help give students answers to those embarrassing questions, but with the correct information.
