Praise for Girling Up:
"Bialik is encouraging without being preachy . . . many teens will
be drawn to this engaging and useful book." --Booklist
"Ultimately, the author stresses that “Girling Up” does not end
with adulthood—it is a lifelong journey. Thanks to Bialik, readers
have a road map to make this trip memorable." --School Library
Journal
"Written in conversational style . . . the tone remains
understanding, supportive, and respectful of the reader’s
individuality throughout the text." --VOYA
"Combining her personal experiences and academic credentials,
Bialik--television star, mother of two, and neuroscientist--tackles
six aspects of what she calls 'girling up,' 'the transition from
girl to young woman.' When discussing widely covered topics that
include body and image, the importance of a balanced diet,
exercise, and growth, Bialik adds a few novelties--for example,
yoga poses that relieve menstrual cramps and the introduction of
mindfulness to eating and stress management." --Publishers Weekly
