This thoughtful advice book will guide you through the next steps of growing up. With illustrations and expert contributors, this book covers new questions about periods, your growing body, peer pressure, personal care, and more! Written by Dr. Cara Natterson for girls 10 and up, The Care & Keeping of You 2 follows up the original bestseller with even more in-depth details about the physical and emotional changes you're going through. Review: Helpful and Age Appropriate - This book is ideal for that age group where they need to know about periods and their changing bodies but discussing details about sex and other adult topics would be inappropriate. This book does not handle the topic of sex. This book is specific to the changes of puberty in regards to friendships and hygiene. I wanted to write a review because some reviews stated that this book is graphic and made the adult writing the reviews uncomfortable. I want to be clear that this book does not contain anything sexual or something that is not appropriate for a child 10-12 years old. The illustrations in the book regarding breasts and genitals are a VERY basic cartoon illustration to show anatomical parts, how to insert a tampon, and perform a breast exam. It uses no sexual words and only scientific terms. I think it’s worth noting that any child who reads this book and sees the diagram can just as easily look in a mirror and see the same parts. I find it highly suspect and strange that a parent would give this instructional book a negative review or be uncomfortable with their child seeing a diagram of their own body parts. Throughout the book there are tips and advice on hygiene, maintaining friendships, having mature conversations with parents, staying healthy, not giving in peer pressure, and doing well in school in spite of the trials of puberty. Throughout the book it encourages the reader to get guidance from trusted adults if they are confused or worried about something they don’t understand. One important section of the book is about pressure from friends during visits and sleepovers to do things they aren’t allowed to do at home or things that are not age appropriate and it gives wonderful advice on what to do in these situations. This book is a valuable resource for growing children and I recommend purchasing prior to puberty, especially if you already have the first Care and Keeping of You. This book is similar, it’s just more informative to a slightly older age group. After this book I highly recommend The Period Book and the other American Girl books about self care and mental health. At this age kids are very sensitive and dealing with friendships and peer pressure and those books give very wise advice. Review: Great resource for younger girls - This is a great addition to the material covered in the #1 book. I got the #1 book for by daughter to help prepare her for what was coming. I ordered this one the day she got her first period. Having already read the first book (and talked about it) she knew what it was when it happened and knew she could talk to me about it. Just like the first book, I read the book myself first (it's a quick read, probably took me less than an hour). I really appreciate the anatomical/medical names being used for parts of the body and a good list of words and definitions in the back. There are some pictures that are cartoony but appropriate in my opinion for an 11 year old. They do a good job covering how puberty affects girls as a whole, not just getting their period. The book cover social and emotional changes as well. I really appreciate how the book consistently refers young girls to talk to their parents if they have questions or concerns. I've liked having both these books to supplement what my daughter and I have talked about as it relates to puberty. I highly recommend them. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #711 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #2 in Children's Personal Hygiene Books (Books) #3 in Children's Books on Maturing #7 in Children's Daily Activities Books | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 14,110 Reviews | ## Images ![The Care and Keeping of You 2 (American Girl® Wellbeing) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/713OSBzDdNL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Helpful and Age Appropriate *by M***B on June 29, 2021* This book is ideal for that age group where they need to know about periods and their changing bodies but discussing details about sex and other adult topics would be inappropriate.

I met them while visiting a friend that I went to College with, I asked my friend, the Mother and Grandmother of the two Girls, if could award her Daughter, some Reference Material. And after I shared with her my Reading Experience with my Daughter and my Son and she agreed. I asked this Mom to review the content of this book and decide if it was appropriate for her girls. I shared with this parent that, I was an avid reader to my two children. And I would frequently purchase books as I traveled to different locations. I read to them on a nightly basis. And, I also read to them over the phone when I stayed overnight for work. In addition I awarded my children with new Books as I traveled and I wrote the City Location that I purchased the Book and Signed each book with a special note from Dad. I presented this book to the Mom of the two girls, to review. After her review she agreed to accept the book. I gave the mom a tool to help her young girls understand their Biological Changes they would experience while transitioning into Womanhood. The Book masterfully addressed all concerns of entering into Womanhood and what to expect. And how to address each opportunity. The book illustrated appropriately, all cultures of children and illustrated all facts. The book captured all Girls of the World and Masterfully addressed most common concerns and techniques that Young Girls must address while transitioning in to Womanhood. These two Girls look forward to reviewing the book on a nightly basis. And the mother is excited that the Girls are so engaged in their health and wellbeing, The Mom is excited to have such a complete reference to assist in her daughters transition into Womanhood. She stated that, " I wish that I had such a complete reference when I was their age". ## Frequently Bought Together - The Care and Keeping of You 2 (American Girl® Wellbeing) - The Care and Keeping of You 1: The Body Book for Younger Girls (American Girl® Wellbeing) - The Feelings Book: The Care and Keeping of Your Emotions (American Girl® Wellbeing) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/603400503-the-care-and-keeping-of-you-2-american-girl-wellbeing](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/603400503-the-care-and-keeping-of-you-2-american-girl-wellbeing) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-09-18*
