Courage for blood

*Mut zum Blut* is an inclusive guide to menstruation. Expert Chella Quint answers all questions about periods: She explains what happens in the body, introduces various menstrual products, and shows how to talk about menstruation openly, positively, and without shame.

The book presents this supposedly taboo topic in a way that’s easy to understand, humorous, and respectful. Chella Quint, founder of “Period Positive,” encourages children and teens to take their thoughts and feelings about menstruation seriously and to talk about it without shame. *The Courage to Talk About Menstruation* offers comprehensive information presented in an age-appropriate and entertaining way, and makes it clear: Not all women menstruate, and not all people who menstruate are women.

Beautifully illustrated by Giovana Medeiros, this book is a powerful, inclusive tool that imparts knowledge, builds self-confidence, and shows young readers ages 8 and up that menstruation is a natural part of life.
