Vulva! What You Need to Know Below the Belt

*Vulva! What You Need to Know Below the Belt* is a bold, warm-hearted, and humorous sex education book for young people who want to better understand their bodies and approach them with confidence. Nadine Beck and Rosa Schilling explain in a clear, open, and non-judgmental way what the vulva is, how it develops, the roles of the clitoris and vagina, what happens during puberty, and why menstruation, personal hygiene, boundaries, and self-determination are important topics. In doing so, the book conveys not only knowledge but also appreciation: bodies are allowed to be different, questions are allowed to be asked, and sex education can be lighthearted, empowering, and even fun. The colorful illustrations by Sandra Bayer make complex content accessible and guide young readers through a topic that is far too often kept secret or misnamed.
