What’s Going On In My Body?

Do you remember what it felt like when your body started to change—awkward, confusing, maybe even a little scary?

You’re not alone. If…

  • You’re a mom wanting to lovingly prepare your daughter for her first period
  • You’re an educator or youth leader searching for a clear, age-appropriate resource
  • You believe young girls deserve to understand their bodies without shame or fear
  • You want to replace awkward conversations with confidence, clarity, and joy

What’s Going On In My Body? is the trusted companion book to the Guiding Star Cycle Show Workshop, created for girls ages 9–12 as they begin the beautiful journey into womanhood. With warmth and wisdom, Dr. Elisabeth Raith-Paula helps girls (and the adults who care for them) understand the female body, cycle, and fertility in a way that is natural, entertaining, and grounded in science. This book answers real questions young girls have—like “When am I fertile?” and “What’s actually happening inside me?”—and gently dispels harmful myths about the female cycle.

Let’s give our girls the gift of understanding—and the confidence to grow into womanhood with pride.
