The Kōwhai and Bloom Handbook is a gentle, down to earth guide to help young wāhine understand what is happening in their body as they move through puberty. It explains body changes, periods, the hormone squad, big feelings, food for energy, sleep and rest, and simple daily self care in a calm and friendly way.
It is written to help young people feel supported and confident in their growing body, and to give carers a steady guide as they walk beside them.
